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

Static-site generators (Hugo, Jekyll, Astro)

Add the script to your shared template/layout file and it ships with every generated page.

Legacy PHP sites

Add to your footer.php include — works the same as on WordPress.

Custom-built apps

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.
