About the Plumbline template
Built for independent consultants and coaches
Plumbline is for consultants and coaches who sell one-to-one work. Large photographs sit behind the text as it scrolls, giving every page a calm, confident feel.
What's on the site
- Home, About and Services
- Success Stories and Testimonials
- Blog, with a page for every post
- Contact, plus privacy and terms pages
Keeping it current
The blog is a collection, so writing regularly never means editing the layout, and every post leads back to the contact form. Headlines stay large and readable on a phone.
When to pick something else
Plumbline is the wrong template for these. Where there is a better one, it is linked.
- An agency pitching creative work on the strength of a portfolio — try Obsidian or Tessel
- A course, cohort or digital product with a checkout
- A firm that needs a partner directory or an offices page — try Proviso
- A solo lawyer whose site is built around practice areas and a case-evaluation form
- Planner or guide working with households rather than companies, on a fixed-length program
- Household money adviser with a small team, published fees and a disclosure footer — try Ballast
- Loan originator whose site must show an NMLS number and fair-lending disclosures — try Lintel
- Candidate running for office with position papers and a volunteer form — try Quorum

Key Highlights
Questions about Plumbline
Can I write a blog that brings in enquiries?
Yes. The blog is a collection with a page per post, and every page leads to the contact form.
Which pages come with it?
Home, About, Services, Success Stories, Blog, Testimonials, Contact, and privacy and terms pages.
Who is Plumbline for?
Plumbline is built for an independent strategy consultant selling one-to-one engagements, a business coach booking discovery calls rather than selling a course and a fractional executive publishing a services page and a track record. Not built for an agency pitching creative work on the strength of a portfolio — try Obsidian or Tessel instead.
Can Claude or ChatGPT build my site from Plumbline?
Yes. Connect Sitelas to your AI agent and ask for a site that uses Plumbline. It fills in your details, sends you a preview link, and publishes when you approve. The same chat can keep running the site afterwards.
Can I change Plumbline without code?
Yes. The Schibsted Grotesk type, all 9 pages and the post entries, every photo and every colour can be changed in the visual editor, or by asking your AI agent.
What does it cost?
Nothing to start, with no trial clock. A free site runs on a sitelas.com address; Pro is $9 a month per site ($90 a year) for your own domain, analytics and more room.
Guides that use Plumbline
Sell and Take Bookings With Stripe and Calendly
Sitelas doesn't run a shop or a calendar. Instead you add a Stripe buy button or your Calendly booking page to any page, and keep your customers and money in your own accounts.
AI Website Management: Run Your Site From the Chat That Built It
AI website management without a dashboard. The same Claude chat that built your Sitelas site reads the form messages, drafts replies, edits pages and publishes when you approve.
Can Claude Build a Website? How to Build and Publish One From a Chat
Can Claude build a website? Yes. With the Sitelas connector, Claude builds a real site from your description, shows you a private preview, makes the changes you ask for and publishes when you say so.
