Build a website you can own.

Foundation is an open-source website template designed to be understandable, editable and deployable — without locking the owner into Provelopment.

Two ways to write a page

Markdown

For straightforward pages: plain text, with a few simple marks for headings, lists and links. The About page of this site is written this way.

JSON

For structured pages: you declare the sections — a hero, columns, cards, a table, questions — in a small documented vocabulary. This page is written this way.

You own your website

Staying with Provelopment is a service choice, not a technical hostage situation. The site, its content and its code are yours.

About this website

  • What this site is

    This is the Foundation template's own reference deployment — the public code, running live, with two example pages written in the two authoring modes.

Built to adapt

The Layout control in the header switches between the Sidebar and the Menu-bar presentation: the page, its address and its content stay exactly the same. A Foundation site can also serve several languages, several physical Locations and several countries — when a site configures them, their controls appear in that same row. This deployment configures one language and no Locations, so Layout is the only one offered here.

Everything here is in the public repository

This page is data, not a mock-up. It is one file — home.json — in the Provelopment Foundation repository, which is also where the About page, the styling and the settings live. Change a file, commit it, push it: the site rebuilds itself. The code is yours to take with you.
