What's inside
Bring in the people who help — without handing over everything.
Invite someone by email and choose what they can do: change the site, look after the money, or own the whole thing. Roles are changed or removed whenever you like.
You type “A community food project in Leeds — what we do, how to help, and what we've done so far” — and Spanli assembles the site in front of you: opening, what's coming up, last month, get in touch. The changes receipt reads: Added: 4 sections — opening, what's coming up, last month, get in touch.
Sound familiar?
Right now "sharing the website" means sharing a password.
The bookkeeper needs the invoices but shouldn't be able to rewrite your homepage. The person writing your words shouldn't see your card. So nobody gets access, everything routes through you, and a two-word typo waits three weeks for your evening.
Step by step
How it works
In the demo beside each claim: the site Spanli built; then the volunteer induction line being corrected — you click it, type “induction moved to 5:30”, and 6:00 pm becomes 5:30 pm; then new enquiry arriving in the Spanli inbox.
Invite by email
Type the address, choose what they should be able to do, send. They get a link, make their own login, and land in your project. Nobody shares a password, and nobody has to be removed from anything when they leave.
Three roles, in plain terms
- **Owner** — everything. The site, the plan, the domain, the people, and the right to hand it all to someone else. - **Editor** — changes the site. Chat, pointing and editing, content, publishing. They never see the card or the plan. - **Financial** — the money side. Plan, card, credits, receipts, domain purchases. They can see the site but can't change it.
Change your mind at any point
Switch someone's role, remove them, or resend an invitation that got buried. A pending invite can be cancelled before it's ever used.
Honest about what this isn't: Spanli makes one change to a site at a time. If a teammate's change is running, yours waits its turn rather than the two colliding — which is safe, but it isn't a shared document with several cursors in it. There's also no review queue: an editor's change is a real change to the draft, and whoever can publish can publish. Give the role to people you'd trust with the decision, and lean on your site's history if one needs undoing.

Hand the site over for real
Ownership transfers to another member — they become the owner, and you either stay on as an editor or on billing, or step away entirely. This is a real handover, not a shared login you both keep.
Nobody gets locked out by accident
A site always has an owner: Spanli won't let you remove or demote the last one, and won't let you strand a project with nobody who can pay for it.
Who it's for
Teams where the work is already split:
startups where the founder builds, the marketer edits, and the accountant only wants the invoices; nonprofits handing the site to next year's volunteer without a password on a sticky note; restaurants letting a manager update the menu while the owner keeps the plan; real estate agents whose assistant posts the new listings.

In case you're wondering.
Does a teammate need their own Spanli account?
Yes, and it takes them a minute — the invite link walks them through making one. That's the point: their access is theirs, so removing it later removes exactly one person.
Can two of us edit at the same time?
You can both be in the project, but changes happen one at a time — if a change is already running, the next one waits for it. It's a deliberate choice: two changes landing on the same page at once is how sites get quietly broken.
Can I let someone edit just one page?
No. An editor can change the whole site. If that's more than you want to give, keep them out and take their changes through you — or give them the financial role, which sees everything and changes nothing.
Someone built my site for me. Can I take it over?
Yes — that's exactly what ownership transfer is for. They hand it over, you become the owner, and they stay on as an editor or leave entirely. Nothing about the site has to move.
Does adding people cost more?
Plans are priced per site, not per person. Bringing in an editor or a bookkeeper doesn't change what you pay.
