How we see ourselves

A growing competitor for mid to large-scale commercial content platforms; open sourced. We work openly and with integrity to create a platform for and with our community.

Our mission

To build an out-of-box web application foundation that does as much of the laborious, hard and overlooked work for you, accelerating teams as they focus on unique requirements.

 

To build a community and platform that leads by example; that is a joy to use, a joy to work with and a joy to participate in.

Our vision

Preside solving complex needs for a wide breadth of industries and communities. A well-known name founded on openness and excellence.
