CloudCannon Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It helps me quickly, easily and efficiently instantiate web pages for the company's clients. It is an easy-to-use content manager for content managers and IT technicians for website maintenance.

The learning curve is wide to integrate all the tools and scalability that the platform has. The content editor is slow. It takes a few seconds to save a post with no images. The editor seems to hog my CPU (it kills my Firefox–my go to browser). Uncomfortably similar to how Divi (popular WordPress page builder) can choke my computer resources. I ran some performance tests and discovered that the Divi page builder editor actually takes up less CPU than CloudCannon’s content editor. I didn’t think this was possible!

Transparency, I can see all the source HTML I need to see. Local Development Environment, my live CloudCannon sites, GitHub code repositories, development repositories, and development site are always in sync.

My favourite thing about CloudCannon is its ability to integrate fully with my git source control. Any changes I make on the CloudCannon app are pushed to my repository and vice-versa. This means my website is always up to date, and regardless of where I make changes or how my team grows, I can rely on CloudCannon to keep on top of everything. Additionally, the editor allows you to make changes easily and the selection of pre-made templates can get you up and running quickly with a very professional looking website.

The only downside to CloudCannon's source control integration is the way it pushes every single change to your repository. This is useful when it comes to tracking changes and keeping a record of EVERYTHING, but as a fan of larger commits, I dislike how this feature has turned my commit history into a barrage of one-line code changes. This is literally my only issue with CloudCannon, so if you can get over a crowded commit history, this is the product for you!

One of my favourite problems to solve with CloudCannon is hosting a free personal github.io page. The integration with my github account means that any changes I make are instantly reflected on my external facing site, and using the CloudCannon web app I can easily make changes to my site, or add blog posts on the go.

It provides visual editing capability which I found one of the best features of it. It provides different content options which help to change and update the content on the website. It helps to create the form which is an awesome feature.

I personally do not dislike anything in it.

It helps me to automate the website deployment and update the website content. It provides a collaboration feature that benefits my team member to work simultaneously. It provides good hosting for websites with CDN.

You are being met with a beautiful interface. There are a lot of features and a good helper getting from another static CMS. Fantastic support that helped me get from forestry.io to CloudCannon. Responsive company when given feedback on functionality.

You will benefit from learning about cloudcannon.config.yml - it will make your editing experience a lot better. But it requires some learning. It would be nice with some examples of common UI elements like a gallery.

We need a solution that doesn't require us to maintain and update a CMS every day, week, or month or be doomed. A CMS is easy to understand for everyone, no matter their background is a must.
