Features
CloudCannon is a framework-agnostic CMS for static sites, with an engineering team actively developing new features and open-source software to support and extend your static sites.
With CloudCannon’s Snippets, content editors can use a simple interface to easily insert includes, shortcodes and Markdown extensions into their content — all without touching the underlying code.
Our open-source software integrates with your existing sites to extend functionality. Whether you’re looking for search, simpler pagination, multi-site integration, translation management for localization and i18n, or a full component development workflow, we can help.
As a Git-based CMS, CloudCannon shares many similarities with Forestry, making for an easy transition for both developers and content editors.
