WebForge gives your station a real website and an installable app for every device, with live now-playing and an AI prep room for your DJs. Built and branded for you in days, fully managed, and yours to own.
Your second signal
A WebForge site is not a brochure about your station. It is your station, on every phone, desk and dashboard, and it works for every department.
A fully interactive station site. Not a page with a play button. A living home page where the music, the artwork, and every card update in real time.
A real app. No app store. Your station installs from the browser on iPhone, Android, Mac and PC in one tap, then opens full-screen with its own icon, tab bar and lock-screen controls.
Cars are where radio was born. Car mode strips the interface to what a driver needs: big art, one giant play button, high contrast, zero distractions.
A voicemail recorder that lives right in the site. No app to download, no number to dial. Thirty seconds of listener love, delivered straight to the station inbox.
Not a contact form. Listeners sign in, browse your station's actual music library, and drop a request straight into your playlist automation. Requests are queued in your automation and played at your station's discretion, never on demand.
Every morning WebForge writes a full prep packet for each host: on-this-day facts, music history, trivia, caller hooks and shout-outs, then rewrites any line in that host's own voice. A listener assistant works the site around the clock.
The revenue engine
Ads, fundraising and sponsorships are built into the platform, sold by you, tracked for you.
A sponsor spot plays before the stream every time a listener presses play. Each ad carries sponsor, CPM and a date window, and every play is logged as a billable impression you can download and invoice against.
One network-wide message overrides every station's pre-roll for the length of your drive, and donation widgets drop onto any page. Flip it on, run the campaign, flip it off.
Sponsor banners go into widget slots on the home page, station pages, host pages, and a dedicated custom page. No sponsor? Rotate your own jingles and station IDs in the pre-roll slot instead.
The setup fee, retired
One well-known radio web vendor publishes a $500 website setup fee, plus $250 for every additional station, plus a separate setup charge for each station-branded page, and you still need your own Apple and Google developer accounts before the app can ship. We think the price of starting should be zero.
Security
Most radio website vendors hand you a WordPress install and a stack of plugins. WordPress runs roughly two of every five websites on earth, which makes it the single most attacked platform there is, and year after year security researchers trace more than nine in ten WordPress vulnerabilities to plugins and themes, not to WordPress itself. A plugin-built radio site is a row of doors you don't hold the keys to.
WebForge is one purpose-built platform, written for radio and maintained by the people who run stations on it. There is no plugin marketplace, no third-party theme, no update from a stranger that can take your site down on a Friday night.
Bots hammer WordPress login pages around the clock. WebForge has no wp-admin and no SQL database to inject. Admin access uses hashed passwords and keyed API calls, and your whole station backs up as plain files you can copy anywhere.
SSL, backups and updates are handled for you and reach every installed app the moment we publish. Your domain, your data, your branding. No mandatory "powered by" badge in your footer.

Why WebForge
A cheap DIY builder won't give your station the tools it needs. A WordPress radio vendor will, for a setup fee, a plugin stack and a demo call before you see a price. WebForge gets your station an app, an audience engine and a team behind it, with the price on the page.
