Hi there! I run a small web agency for local SMBs, and love using Eleventy with CloudCannon and Bookshop for that. Always keen to learn about ways everyone structures their content to get the easiest editing experience possible for my clients.

Hi friends, I’m a solutions architect here at CloudCannon. I mainly help with getting people set up using the CMS.

Lately i’ve been working on multilingual workflows in CloudCannon, and trying my hand at recording YouTube tutorials around CloudCannon, and more broadly SSGs in general.

These days, my favourite SSGs are Astro :astro: & 11ty :11ty:

Hi All! My name is Paul Wolke. I run a small agency building static websites.

  • I’m based in New Jersey (close enough to NYC to be connected. Far away enough to see stars at night)
  • I use CC for CMS management of Netlify hosted client sites. Most of them are managed by me or partners.
  • I’ve been building sites with lots of different tech over the years but have gravitated to Hugo over the years as the go to SSG.

Hey CloudCannon Community! :waving_hand: I’m Vic, a UX/UI designer on the Enterprise Team at CloudCannon. Basically, I’m the one who tries to make complex tech look and feel like a cozy cup of coffee… or at least a smooth, well-designed dashboard. :wink: When I’m not pixel-pushing, you’ll probably find me chasing after my kids, attempting to keep a veggie garden going, or gaming :video_game:. Excited to see what we build together!

Hola! I’m Giovanni (but I go by Gio). I’m from Idaho, lots of agriculture around here.

I have spent the last 6-8 months creating my own app like website building tool powered by Eleventy and Cloudcannon. I am forever grateful for the Venture template for showing how the basics and advanced tips on how to use Cloudcannon. I use this to create websites for local SMBs. My client Websites get new features from a single source repo like an app would.

I saw the showcase section. I might spend some time and do a proper writeup of what I’ve created so far. :eyes:

Eleventy markets itself as a simple static site generator, but there is so much you can do once you get comfortable with it.

Overall happy to be a part of the community!

G’day! I’m Rosemary, a graphic designer and front-end developer living on Wajuk Country - in Perth, Western Australia. I’m built my first sites for Curtin University back in 1995 and I sometimes miss the simplicity of those days. Everyday a newbie. Looking forward to learning from you all to make cool stuff utilising Cloud Cannon. Have a few sites under our belts so far. Pleased to be able to join this community. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hi All! I’m George, one of the co-founders at CloudCannon. My role is CTO, and I work on a wide variety of things across the whole business.

While studying Computer Science, I worked as a freelance web developer to earn extra money and help friends. I was baffled by how much more work it took to build an editable website compared to a static one. During the day, I learned software engineering, but I had to master a completely different skill set to work with a dynamic CMS. Mike and I teamed up to build a platform that gives developers full creative control, saves them time with hosting, and makes editing enjoyable for everyone.

In this community, I’m looking forward to seeing showcases of amazing projects and discussing clever solutions for everyday challenges on the web.

Outside of work I love cooking, playing social sports and being a dad. I also play video games when I have time but usually just live vicariously through youtube videos.
