Welcome to the end of the guide! We’ve covered everything you need to know to get started — but it doesn’t end there! Here are some optional steps for you to explore.
Hosting#
CloudCannon is an all-in-one Content Management System with hosting included. Every site has its own .cloudvent.net domain name and is hosted on a super-fast Content Delivery Network (CDN) supported by Cloudflare. For a production site, you can point your domain to your site or use CloudCannon DNS to automate the setup.
All sites receive an SSL certificate, can easily scale to handle any amount of traffic, and offer custom routing and headers, form submissions, and various authentication options.
Branding#
Adding your brand to CloudCannon is a great way to make the app look and feel like your organization.
You can set your primary color — this is mainly used in the side nav and buttons. Your logo is used in two places: a badge in the top left corner with your brand's primary color behind it and on the top of the Home, Project, Sites, and Domains pages with a white background behind it.
Access your branding by navigating to the Branding tab, under Org Settings.
Bookshop#
A common feature of modern website builders is the ability to add and move content blocks to build custom page layouts from defined components. We’ve created Bookshop to automate maintaining page components for page building. Bookshop is an open-source component library compatible with Astro, Eleventy, Hugo, Jekyll, and SvelteKit. It’s simple to introduce and has tight integration into CloudCannon, which will handle most of the setup.
To get started with Bookshop, read our Bookshop guide or reach out to our support team.
