CloudCannon

Who we are

We're on a mission to enable everyone, everywhere, to collaborate without compromise. We're a friendly team who value lifestyle, work/life balance, and self-direction. We're passionate about evangelizing static websites and working with others who do the same.

Founded in 2013, CloudCannon has grown from a startup born in New Zealand to an international platform trusted by some of the world's largest tech companies. Our team of 29 is distributed globally, with a strong emphasis on maintaining the work-life balance and flexibility that makes our best work possible.

What we do

CloudCannon was founded in 2013 with the goal of providing a better way for non-technical teams to edit static sites without involving a developer. Out of this need, the CloudCannon CMS was born.

CloudCannon's CMS has since grown to become the world's most reliable and user-friendly platform for managing and maintaining static websites. The platform has grown with the support of customers from international web development and design agencies, as well as some of the largest tech companies in the world, including Netflix and Twitch.

Our platform empowers content editors and marketers to make updates independently while giving developers the control and flexibility they need. By bridging the gap between technical and non-technical teams, we enable seamless collaboration on static sites without the usual compromises.

Our history

CloudCannon was started by two computer science grads from the University of Otago in 2013. The early goal was to provide a better way for non-technical teams to edit static sites without involving a developer. Out of this need, the CloudCannon CMS was born.

Over time, the platform has evolved and grown to become the industry standard platform for managing and maintaining static websites. The platform has grown on the back of its support for Jekyll, with some of the largest tech companies in the world including Netflix and Twitch.

In 2021, the team added support for Hugo and 11ty and began the rapid roll-out of CloudCannon support for all the major static site generators. This expansion has positioned CloudCannon as the go-to solution for teams working with any modern static site generator, offering unparalleled flexibility and choice in the static site ecosystem.
