CloudCannon
Visual editing CMS for teams at scale, built on Git and static site generators
CloudCannon is a Git-based content management system that connects to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories and builds static sites on every push. It solves the problem of giving non-technical editors a way to update content without developer involvement, while keeping content versioned and in sync within the repository. Developers can continue working in their local static site generator stack, and the platform can host the built site or output it for deployment elsewhere.
The platform provides visual editing with live hosted previews, custom components, and Git syncing. It supports branching workflows, content scheduling, client sharing, custom permissions, and SSO/SAML authentication. Additional capabilities include digital asset management integrations, Git Large File Storage, build deploys, form inboxes, site mounting, globalization workflows, custom branding, testing domains, deploy previews, and custom edge rules. CloudCannon offers automatic site optimizations such as CSS and JavaScript minification, cache clearing, HTTPS, DDoS protection, and DNS management on a global CDN. It is compatible with AI coding tools that work with plain files in Git.
CloudCannon is designed for digital agencies, in-house web teams, and organizations of varying sizes. It is packaged in Standard, Team, and Enterprise editions, with a Lite plan available through the Partner Program for agencies and freelancers. Standard and Team plans include a 21-day trial, and additional users can be added for a monthly fee per person. Enterprise is custom-priced and includes onboarding services, SSO/SAML authentication, dedicated support, and custom permissions.
