HUGO CMS
The Hugo CMS for all your projects
Keep your Hugo workflow. Give editors a visual way to update content without touching your code.
Your Git workflow. Their visual interface.
Everything lives in your Hugo repository. Editors commit through CloudCannon while you keep complete control over themes, layouts, and shortcodes.
Branch-based editing and publishing
Content teams can take control on branches, preview on staging sites, and publish when they're ready. Zero conflicts with your local Hugo environment.
Visual editing without the compromises
See your changes instantly. CloudCannon's real-time previews match your live site exactly, so what editors see is what ships.
Hugo's speed meets enterprise-grade performance
Deliver instant loads that stay instant, and static architecture that scales automatically to meet your traffic. Your Hugo sites stay clean, with meta tags and structured data built in.
Set it and forget it.
Eliminate the maintenance treadmill that consumes dev time. Spin up new sites in minutes from a Hugo theme and your reusable components.
Real results from real migrations
Print management software superstars PaperCut consolidated 4,000+ pages with CloudCannon as their Hugo CMS. The result? 100x faster publishing and lighthouse performance scores jumping from a low of just 14 to 90+.
Three steps to visual editing with Hugo

Hand off to non-technical editors who can update content visually — without touching your code.
Stay connected with Hugo
Alongside our own Community, CloudCannon creates a monthly Hugo newsletter and video series. You'll find development insights, community highlights, and tutorials that help you build better Hugo sites.
No vendor lock-in. Period.
Your Hugo content stays in markdown. Your themes stay in Git. Your repos stay yours.
