## Privacy-first defaults from the start

- **No cookie banner needed:** Fjord sets no tracking cookies. Visitor stats can run cookieless with Plausible or Umami.
- **GDPR features included:** Users can export their data and delete their account themselves. Fonts are self-hosted.
- **AI assistant on your terms:** The docs assistant uses your own OpenAI key. Without one, it answers with excerpts from your docs, and no data leaves your server.
- **EU hosting friendly:** Works with Postgres in an EU region, for example on Neon, and deploys to Vercel or your own server.

## Made for SaaS teams that want a complete website on day one

### A great fit for

- B2B SaaS products that need docs, a blog and company pages
- Teams that want to answer customer questions with an AI docs assistant
- Developers who want a clean, typed and tested foundation
- First-time founders: the launch roadmap explains every step

### Good to know

- Fjord is in English. Cairn and Aven show how to add a second language.
- Billing is built for subscriptions; one-off product sales are not included.
- You need a Postgres database; the AI assistant needs an OpenAI API key.
- The legal page templates are a starting point, not legal advice.

## Buy once, build as many projects as you like

One licence covers everything. You get the full source code as a download and in a private GitHub repository.

### How you get it

1. Buy Fjord through the secure Polar checkout.
2. Open Polar's customer portal (the link is in your receipt email): download the code as a ZIP file, or connect your GitHub account to get the private repository.
3. Unzip or clone it and run pnpm run setup.

## Questions about Fjord

### How is Fjord different from Cairn and Aven?

All three share the same solid foundation. Fjord is the most complete website: a docs portal with an AI assistant plus blog, customers, webinars, changelog and status pages, in a calm Nordic design, in English. Cairn and Aven are leaner and come in English and German; Aven also sells one-time products.

### Do I need an OpenAI account?

Only for the AI answers. Without an OpenAI key, the docs assistant still works and answers with excerpts from your docs. Add the key when you're ready.

### Do I need to be a developer?

Basic coding knowledge helps. The README contains a launch roadmap that walks you through every step, from running it on your computer to going live. Experienced developers have it running locally in about ten minutes.

### Can I use Fjord for client projects?

Yes. One licence covers unlimited projects, including products you build for clients. You may not resell Fjord itself as a template.

### Where can I host it?

On Vercel or any server that runs Node.js, plus a Postgres database such as Neon in an EU region. The docs cover both Vercel and self-hosting.

### Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of your purchase, as long as you haven't accepted the repository invitation or downloaded the code. After access, you can contact us about defects or other problems, and your statutory rights apply. See our refund policy for details.

### How do I get updates?

Updates are pushed to the private GitHub repository. Connect your GitHub account in Polar's customer portal to get access, then pull them like any other change.
