Room to grow.

A place for the stories, people, and ideas that make your work matter.

A foundation you can make your own.

Useful defaults, clear boundaries, and room to build beyond the basics.

A way forward, wherever you go.

Your content stays portable. Choose managed hosting through Rallid, or plan a handoff with the code and information you need to run your own site.

Code and ownership

Less between you and your work.

Edit pages, manage media, and invite your team from one workspace. Passkeys and scoped permissions help keep the right people in control.

Your ideas have room to grow.

Build your own application logic, themes, and integrations through documented extension boundaries. A marketplace for independent creators is planned.

Build with us

Rooted in a quieter place.

Scarborough takes its name from the marsh in Maine. It is the first in a continuing family of wetland release names, each with its own place and character.

Now in development: a calmer admin, reproducible local setup, clearer permissions, and tested recovery tools. Existing sites move after individual testing.

Meet Scarborough

A considered workspace

Subtle motion, a familiar black rail, and space for the work itself.

Built together

Readable source and documented extension boundaries for developers and independent creators.

A deliberate release

Local rehearsal, verified packages, and a recovery plan before a production upgrade.
