Among our customers:
Radically different.
See how Contentful compares to a legacy CMS
API-first, not browser-first
All the created content is accessible via an API. Bring your content anywhere, display it as you like.
Scalable cloud, not on-premises setup
Your content is stored on our servers. They are fast, safe, secure, and we take care of all the maintenance.
Content-centric, not page-centric
Organize and structure the content your way. Build a custom content model instead of dealing with fixed, predefined templates.
Just the content, no presets or templates
Contentful delivers the content, and you design around it. We separate the content from presentation — it's most flexible this way.
Editors be editing
Contentful comes with a web interface – an environment in which non-technical, content-focused users can work, making sure that the content looks and reads great.
We speak your language
We've built SDKs for the most popular languages, so you don't have to deal with the low-level API directly.
It worked for them
Look what our customers and friends are saying. (TL;DR: they love us.)
We can now build apps at least 2-3 times faster than before! All the while avoiding technical debt & allowing our client to directly manage and update the content
Gueorgui Tcherednitchenko
CTO, AQ
Contentful empowers our editorial team to create new layouts and weave intricate visual stories without having to wait for the IT department to deliver a new CSS or update the code. This type of flexibility is impossible to match in a legacy CMS.
Greg Dolder
Director of Technology, Specialized Bicycles Inc.
Thanks to Contentful networking features, in-app interactions now feel instant. The speed improvement we observed in the mobile app was staggering.
Kishen Hawkins
Founder, Fast Fwd
The CMS's of the past were really just terrible word processors. Contentful is the first true ‘content management system’. A system that can manage any structure of content you can imagine, not just a sheet of paper.
Gareth Ballester
Lead Engineer, Applications at Nastygal
The number one question I get asked is 'What CMS do you recommend to support true multi-device publishing?' I'm thrilled to recommend Contentful as a product that really gets it.
Karen McGrane
Speaker & Author of Content Strategy for Mobile
Integrating Contentful APIs into our applications has empowered our content managers to update public content and assets on the fly, independently of developers and without the need to build a new binary, submit it to the app store, and wait for a review. It brought speed and efficiency into our publishing process.
Ramsey Lubbat
Sr. Director of Development, Xoom Corporation
We decided to use Contentful early and haven't had any second thoughts since. The flexibility is incredible and the platform has had us impressed over and over again by the power in its simplicity.
Erik Edhagen
UX Designer, Textalk
The Contentful team have been great to work with. Their Support and Solution Architects have been receptive to our feedback and responsive to our needs from kickoff throughout the implementation process.
Dimitri Tzafaras
Program Manager, CareCam
I have personally worked with CMS systems since the beginning of my career and Contentful seems to answer a lot of the problems I was experiencing with the others. You guys have created a great product.
Matt Steele
Developer, Remedy Health Media
Contentful API documentation is excellent, it's really been a joy to get the platform up and running. I've been receiving the newsletter and it's great to see you rolling out product changes so regularly!
Eric Bailey
Developer, Barrel
I have been in the CMS quadrant for over 15 years. I reviewed all of the CMS as-as-service options that I could find, Contentful is overwhelming the best offering for a variety of reasons. It is incredibly smart and intuitive!
Will McCraw
Software Architect, PALO IT
I am very happy with Contentful as a CMS for our app. I love the web admin interface and API-first approach, and the technical support is superb.
