CloudCannon is a Git-based Content Management System (CMS) designed for building and managing static websites, aiming to unify workflows between developers and content teams. The company was founded in 2013 by Mike Neumegen, George Phillips, and John Alexander Holt with the goal of enabling non-technical users to edit static sites without developer intervention.
The co-founders, Mike Neumegen (CEO) and George Phillips (CTO), are both Computer Science graduates from the University of Otago in New Zealand who worked at several local startups before establishing CloudCannon. The company has received $518K in funding over two rounds, with the latest being an Angel round in October 2014. CloudCannon operates globally with leadership based in San Francisco, New York, and Dunedin, New Zealand.
The platform provides a visual editing interface that allows content editors to build pages and modify content directly on a live preview, while developers can continue to use their preferred local development tools and Git workflows. The system connects directly to a client's Git repository (from providers like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket), ensuring content remains version-controlled and in sync with the codebase. This architecture is designed to enhance security, improve website performance, and reduce maintenance overhead by leveraging the principles of static site generation. Key features include component-driven page building, customizable editing experiences, advanced publishing workflows, and flexible hosting options, including CloudCannon's own global CDN or third-party infrastructure. The platform serves a range of clients, from digital agencies and individual developers to large enterprises like Netflix and Twitch, for use cases such as marketing sites, blogs, and documentation.
