+
+Read the Docs is in the process of migrating our primary marketing website to a single site: https://about.readthedocs.com.
+The new site offers users more information about our products and their features,
+in a combined presentation of what was previously divided between two websites (Read the Docs Community and Read the Docs for Business).
+At the same time, the new site will also serve as a single entrypoint for users that are logging in to Read the Docs accounts.
+There has been a good deal of confusion around our two sites,
+and this change makes it more clear which site you're going to.
+
+Importantly,
+**we are keeping both our Community and Business sites separate for logged in users.**
+There are no changes in our commitment to offering free hosting for open source,
+or the separation of infrastructure for Business customers.
+
+Marketing website migration process
+-----------------------------------
+
+The process that we're taking to migrate our marketing site is as follows:
+
+#. ✅ The initial work here was creating a proper marketing site,
+   and deploying it to https://about.readthedocs.com.
+   This was done in January 2023.
+#. ✅ Redirecting *logged out* Business (``readthedocs.com``) users to the new site.
+   This was done in February 2023, and we've been monitoring the impact of this change.
+#. ✅ Redirect *logged out* Community (``readthedocs.org``) users to the new site.
+   This was done in August 2023, to make sure the experience is smooth for users who are used to our application web pages.
+
+We're excited about our new website,
+because historically we have done a poor job of explaining our products.
+Being able to have a single site that explains the features of our various sites,
+and the value that Read the Docs brings to the documentation ecosystem is exciting for us.
+
+Technical details
+-----------------
+
+Historically,
+our marketing pages were generated from our Django application,
+and updated only when we deployed a new version of the site.
+With our new approach,
+our marketing site is actually hosted by Read the Docs itself.
+
+Self-hosting our marketing website gives us many benefits that our users love about hosting their docs with us:
+
+* A proper static site generator built for making a website and blog.
+* Pull request previews to allow us to review content changes.
+* Instant deployment of updates whenever we merge to ``main``.
+* All the rest of our features that we offer to our users.
+
+We're using our new build customization features to build our site with `Pelican <https://getpelican.com/>`__,
+and it's been a really fun way to expand the capabilities of our build system.
+
+We hope that you'll join us for the next stage of Read the Docs,
+where we will continue to provide the best documentation hosting for all software projects.
