Contensis is an AI-ready CMS

Visit Contensis

Contensis is a headless, composable digital experience platform that combines a content management system with a built-in deployment platform, allowing teams to manage content and code releases in one place. It addresses the need to produce and govern content across multiple channels while coordinating front-end development and deployment workflows.

Key features include the Canvas block-based editor for long-form content with Markdown, slash commands, and JSON output; custom content workflows for multi-stage review and approval; field-level commenting and user mentions; Site View for defining site information architecture and URL mapping; and a preview toolbar for checking draft and published content combinations. The platform's Blocks system lets developers push Docker images for preview and release, supports feature branching, and accommodates language-agnostic stacks. Canvas content can be imported via CLI and Management API, and rendered using Contensis React base or helpers for other frameworks.

Contensis is aimed at content strategists, editorial teams, and developers working together on multi-channel digital experiences. Pricing is structured around CMS licence levels with extensions and upgrades available as add-ons, and a 30-day trial with full CMS access and a sample project is offered.
