Masthead is a hosted platform for blogs and small business sites. Each site runs on its own subdomain, content is written in Markdown or HTML, and the whole project is open source.
Bring your team's writing online without the overhead of a traditional content management system.
Read →Point your own domain at any site — apex or subdomain. Masthead handles TLS automatically and serves over HTTPS the moment DNS resolves.
Run as many sites as you need from one account — separate brands, products, or business units, all managed from a single dashboard.
Write in Markdown for speed or HTML for full design control. Both editors come with syntax highlighting so structure is always at a glance.
Designate any page as a blog and Masthead generates the post list for you. Want it on the homepage? Toggle it in settings.
Upload once, reuse anywhere. Every image comes with copy-and-paste Markdown and HTML embed snippets ready for any page.
Pick from built-in themes or upload your own zip — Liquid templates, CSS, and a manifest. Iterate on design without touching the platform.
