Live chat for plain HTML sites
Static site? Custom-built HTML? Old-school PHP? SimplyChat works on anything that lets you paste a script tag before </body>.
If your site is a folder of HTML files, a custom-built PHP backend, or anything that doesn't run a modern framework, you've probably been told most chat tools are 'for' Shopify/WordPress/Webflow. SimplyChat works on anything. It's a plain script tag — no plugin, no framework integration, no SDK.

Why SimplyChat for Plain HTML
Works on any stack
Pure HTML, PHP, classic ASP, Rails ERB, Django templates, Astro, Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, plain static-site generators — anything that emits HTML and lets you add a script tag.
No build step
You don't need npm, you don't need a bundler, you don't need a deployment pipeline change. Copy, paste, refresh.
Same features as the framework integrations
Real-time visitor tracking, proactive chat, co-browse, AI-suggested replies, file attachments — every feature works the same regardless of how your site is built.
Common use cases
Add the script to your shared template/layout file and it ships with every generated page.
Add to your footer.php include — works the same as on WordPress.
Drop the script in your HTML shell. The widget cohabits with any frontend framework.
Frequently asked questions
Will it work with my static-site generator?+
Yes — add the script to whatever your generator uses as a shared layout (footer.html, _layout, base.njk, etc.). Every generated page will include it.
Does it work without JavaScript on the page?+
The widget itself is JavaScript, so visitors need JS enabled to see the chat bubble. The rest of your site can be JS-free.
