About CloudCannon
CloudCannon is a Git-based content management system for static sites. Developers build components with their own static site generator, and editors update content through a visual interface.
What it does
CloudCannon connects to your Git repository and lets editors change text, images and layouts on the components developers have set up. Editors preview changes live and publish when they are ready. CloudCannon can build and host the site, or the site can run on hosting you already use.
Key features
- Visual editing for components in your site
- Content stored in Git alongside your code
- Live preview before publishing
- Build and host your site, or bring your own host
- Works with your static site generator of choice
Who it's for
Development teams that want to hand day-to-day content changes to non-developers. It also suits agencies that maintain many static sites for clients.
Pricing and good to know
CloudCannon offers a free trial, and the site asks visitors to start one. Setup involves configuring the editing experience for your components, which takes some developer time at the start. Because content lives in Git, changes are tracked like code.
Highlights
- Edit components visually on the live site
- Keep content in Git with your code
- Preview edits before they go live
- Host the site or use your own host
