FOR DEVELOPERS
You use Git. So does your CMS.
Keep your Git workflow. Add visual editing for your team. CloudCannon connects to your repo, so editors can manage content while you work locally — and everyone’s changes sync automatically.
Empower your team without sacrificing control
Your editors shouldn't need you to update a headline or swap an image. With CloudCannon, they manage content independently using the components you've built — no urgent requests from marketing, no developer time spent on copy tweaks.
Visual editing that respects your architecture
Your editors work with the components you've built, see changes instantly in the browser, and publish directly to your repository.
- Editors build pages from your custom, reusable components.
- Changes render live in real time, exactly as they'll appear in production.
- Content teams stay within the guardrails you define.
Git workflows for everyone
You work locally. They work in CloudCannon. Everyone stays in sync.
With two-way Git syncing, all changes — yours and theirs — are committed back to your repository. Your editors can even branch and merge sites directly in the CMS, no command line required. One workflow. One source of truth.
Craft the ideal editing interface
You have complete control over how your team manages content. Streamline workflows by customizing inputs with a full range of field types, and fine-tune roles and permissions for a secure, autonomous editing experience.
Maintenance down. Momentum up.
Forget WordPress updates, plugin conflicts, and surprise breakages. CloudCannon just works, so your team can focus on creating, not patching.
Own your content
Your content lives in your repository, along with the complete history of every change. No vendor lock-in. No proprietary formats. No need for backups or exports.
If you ever leave CloudCannon, you leave with everything. Your content. Your code. Your commits. It's all yours.
An open source ecosystem
Upgrade your website with CloudCannon's powerful open source tools:
Bookshop — Component-driven development workflows with live visual editing

Websites that load before you blink
CloudCannon builds and hosts your site (or BYO hosting). It's static, secure, and seriously fast.
Hosting that just works
Deploy to CloudCannon's global CDN for unparalleled reach and speed, or host wherever you like. Either way, you get the performance benefits of static sites without the hosting headaches.
Zero server management — No servers to patch, no runtime to maintain.
Automatic optimization — Fast builds, smart caching, instant invalidation.
Built for scale
Static sites handle traffic spikes without breaking a sweat. No database bottlenecks. No server crashes. Just reliable, consistent performance under any load.
