CloudCannon Reviews & Product Details

CloudCannon is a fantastic tool for using with static site generators to create your website. You get a great user interface to manage your content (easy to use for my clients), a super-fast global content delivery network (our business website scores 100/100 for Google Lighthouse and is on CloudCannon), and a great support team who are always there to help you. A really forward-thinking business. Highly recommend CloudCannon.

Nothin really to dislike about CloudCannon - great product, great team!

As a web developer, I was trying to ensure my clients get performant websites, i.e. fast. CloudCannon gives me the confidence that I provide this.

Static site performance, optimizations. Client editing experience. Super easy version control integration.

We don't use it for anything except static sites - no dislikes.

Cost-effective, simple, performant static site hosting.

The editor is great and with the use of cloudcannons bookshop components, we can extend the functionality of the editor infinitely. The awesome team behind cloudcannon is a big plus as well.

The integration steps can be a bit tricky when using custom bookshop components. This could be easier if the documentation was a bit more in-depth. It would also be really good if there was one included external editor per project so that we don't need to charge our smallest clients for a entire editor account.

Cloudcannon helps us give our clients a customized editing experience that fits their needs. We have tried multiple editors/CMS:s before and cloudcannon is at another level.

The simple CMS for our clients to use together with an extensive framework to build functionality for most website needs. Also, the reliability of the website hosting is always a priority and I think CloudCannon has had an excellent track record for us.

The main downside with CloudCannon for us are definitely the pricing, so for the smaller sites it can be a bit expensive but for larger sites it is not that big of a problem.

The main issue CloudCannon is solving for us is making it easy for our clients to edit their own websites without having to contact us. Other than that I would say that it also makes it more convenient to update everything in the editor when you use components in CloudCannon.

The ease of setup and the feature-rich CMS. It is even simpler when your Jekyll website is sourced-controlled on GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket (and many more). Simply configure access to your repo from your CloudCannon account, and of you go. As for making your content editable, just add the "editable" class in your DOM. Voila...

There used to be bugs once in a while, but that's part of any growing startup. Those issues were usually minor in comparison to the gains. Also, the CloudCannon support team was always very responsive and capable of setting the right expectation.

Commoditizing CMS from existing Jekyll websites.

Simplicity, we are using Cloudcannon as we know jekyll. They make it so simple for our clients.

The frequency of updates is huge; sometimes, we cannot follow up.

It simplifies how clients can update the website. We can have a custom layout on website and we can make those custom editable by marketing person.

The platform is just excellent. It seems that it was crafted with the tiniest details in mind to bring the best experience for developers and content managers. Besides that, the support level is superb. Always super fast and gracious.

Nothing at all. We've been using CloudCannon for a few years now, and we simply don't have any complaints at all.

All of our institutional web pages, app manuals and blogs are hosted and managed through CloudCannon. Until then, we needed tools like WordPress that constantly required maintenance and a team of developers dedicated to maintaining them. Today we no longer have this problem, as CloudCannon handles all technical difficulties. Today we are only concerned with creating and managing the content.

I'm a non-developer/technical marketing leader. This tool is basically made for me - I've got a solid web dev who can fully utilize all of his skills, but my team gets a very slick text and page editor that is just as easy to use as wordpress.

You need to have real developers - which I don't mind, I actually think is a strenght. But you can't just fire this up as you can wordpress. So if you are committed to having a legit web team running your website, this is totally for you.

I want a best in class website - including the best technology infrastructure. I get to have an amazing web dev dedicate his time to making this a reality, while I get to have a marketing team that can focus on great content, seo, CTAs, etc.

Using CloudCannon allows you to build the site you want the way you want without being hindered by the quirks and nuances of other, more rigid CMS solutions. Being a static site CMS means you get a super-performant site that is easy for clients to access and update as/when they want to.

Very little - the lack of more friendly, custom snippets to add to inline content is something I've bought up with the team several times. It's a minor thing that I've managed to work around - but adding it would make the solution perfect!

Having a CMS that can be customised to a client's ability is a HUGE plus point. Most CMS solutions can be daunting and not very accessible to less technically-minded users. The Visual editor and the ability to make the CMS options as rigid or flexible as I require means less support calls and more power to the client when working on their own content. I had a client contact me to say how much they now enjoyed adding new content to their site using CloudCannon, which was fantastic feedback.

The product fits my needs and they are always available to help if I have questions

Nothing really. They are continuously adding new features, so all missing functionality is getting addresed

They fit perfectly into my workflow. The ability to deploy static sites with complete source control is extremally useful for my business model.
