UI is clean. The content team finds it easy to use. Its automatic integration with source control makes it a pleasure to work with for our developers. When we have projects where page speed is a major point of emphasis, CloudCannon makes it easy for us to use static sites AND collaborate with non-technical team members.
I've occasionally run into odd issues with DNS configuration, but the support team has always been helpful when I run into a snag.
It allows us to deploy Jekyll sites with the benefit of 'CMS' style functionality for our non-technical team members. Blazing fast sites with the benefits of a CMS equals happy clients and productive team members.
It's easy to navigate and manage our marketing website, especially for a non technical user.
There is not anything specific we do not like about CloudCannon. It works the way we expect.
Its an intuitive content management website for our marketing website. Its a powerful as we need it to be but easy enough for me to use as the CEO to make quick edits to the website.
CloudCannon creates order around what often is a lot of complexity in our websites.
We still have to wait for our sites to build. Overcoming that hurdle would be magic.
CloudCannon allows us to use a superior method of maintaining complex content systems while giving our non-technical clients an interface that is easy to use and understand.
It is a low config one-stop-shop. It works with multiple SSG's and has everything included you could wish for, like hosting on a CDN, form handling, statistics and more. They recently added support/developed a smart search solution. These guys know SSG's in and out.
Nothing really... Amazing software! And they keep improving it! They recently added new SSG's and added DAM integration. Even their support is really good. The only negative point I can think of is that there are sometimes (small) bugs in the CMS editor because of their continuing development (which causes a bug every now and then).
It is a user friendly CMS for a SSG. With CloudCannon your clients/marketing department can update the content of an SSG website without programming knowledge. This is essential for agencies and programmers.
I host over 100 websites on CloueCannon, they have never disappointed. These are what I like - Customer support - Product Relibility - Easy of use - Regular update - Seperating workspace per client and teams I have to say over the years CloudCannon has started supporting various headless CMS this has been great for me to explore and use just one platform to do the Build, management and deployment. Headless CMS either have no content editors or very complicated content editors. CloudCannon sits in the sweet spot, it's easy for our clients to up date content and easy for edirtos to make certain sections CMS editable.
As headless platform it works great. I am keen to explore their API based deployment, that's one things that's missing right now.
CloudCannon is one platform through which I can host all my headless CMS projects, regardless of the size. It's easy for developers to work with and it integrates well with GIT. It's also simple editable tools for the clients, this removes us as being a bottle neck.
It's really great being able to host unlimited websites. As an entrepreneur and web developer this is incredibly valuable.
There is sooooo much we can do with CloudCannon, however learning about all the possibilities means reading through pages and pages of documents. This is extremely draining for people with reading disabilities. CloudCannon would go from 9/10 to 20/10 if there was an online course we could purchase that showed us step-by-step how to implement Bookshop, Jekyll, editable ecom templates, etc.
They are always improving something... and I'm sure they will roll out with an online CloudCannon course in the future too.
CloudCannon gives quite a bit more control to stakeholders than a headless CMS would, but doesn't require that they learn HTML/CSS. It also lets devs write code using the tools they know best. It's great when you've got custom requirements, a team of reasonably capable stakeholders, and a good dev. Unless I were using a stock template and on a project with no special or custom requirements, I'd pick CloudCannon over any of the site builders or headless CMSs any day. The dev and support team are also super capable. Any time I ran into issues, they worked with me to resolve them quickly. I believe I was the first person to use AlpineJS with CloudCannon, so we got to investigate and solve some novel bugs together with that. I'm a huge fan of CloudCannon.
Site building on file-save can be a little bit slow, especially when you're making a bunch of little changes. I think they're still coming into their own in terms of documentation and in terms of finding the balance between convention and configuration. I don't see any of these as meaningful impediments. The dev team has a really ambitious road map in front of them, and they do a great job of listening to and acting on feedback.
CloudCannon provides a clickable WYSIWYG interface for editing static sites (e.g. those built with Hugo, Jekyll or Eleventy). It slots neatly between Wordpress/Squarespace (and other block-based site-builders) and tools like Ghost (or other headless CMSs), and lets stakeholders immediately see the effect of their changes, and lets devs go at full speed. There's also the Bookshop component framework, which enables some really dynamic page-building. I've found this is the sweet spot - my stakeholders can make changes to content (and sometimes layout) without needing to know coding, without needing to involve me, and without fear of breaking things. I can empower my stakeholders and focus on doing my best work. We have far, far less back-and-forth, I'm no longer a bottleneck, and things just work.
The platform is undergoing constant development with workflow improvements and integration with more tools. The CloudCannon support is top-notch.
No downsides or concerns for me in using CloudCannon.
Using the static site generation approach makes my website development a lot simpler and faster and generally gives me more control over the whole process.
Amazing support, they always know what they're talking about. Rapid innovation, I keep getting surprised. Easy to use for clients, which saves a lot of time.
None. Cloudcannon is for sure my favorite company in the web development industry.
Making editing easy. This saves me time explaining things to clients. It's an all-in-one platform for Jamstack websites. This saves me time with the setup.
