Netlify Create is a visual site builder for modern websites, made for efficient collaboration between developers and content editors.
Netlify Create (Stackbit) + Cloudinary
The Cloudinary-Netlify Create integration enables content editors to easily insert image assets from Cloudinary into any image field in the content they work on. Based on Cloudinary’s Media Library Widget, editors can also upload, edit or transform assets all from within Netlify Create’s user interface.
The integration is compatible with all content sources that Netlify Create support, including headless CMS platforms (e.g. Contentful and Sanity), and plain files. Once you install the Cloudinary integration for your CMS of choice and configure any fields in the CMS as Cloudinary-based image assets, Netlify Create will automatically use Cloudinary’s widget for editing these fields.
A major capability of Netlify Create is the ability for developers to create tailored components for content editors, meaning you can bring over any of Cloudinary’s powerful transformations right into your content editors’ hands, exactly the way you want it. For example, letting marketers configure the crop mode or filters for an image, right inside the Netlify Create editor, with immediate feedback and a simplified interface.
Overview
As organizations move away from legacy monolithic CMS’s into websites based on a modern stack (e.g. React, Next.js), content editors and marketing departments face a major problem:
They are now dependent on developers for almost any change they want to make – or have to use cumbersome backend interfaces to do so. Developers, on their end, are stuck making these small chores. Yet, no one wants to go back to proprietary “”walled garden”” platforms.
Netlify Create gets developers and content editors unstuck: it provides a visual editing platform for modern websites. It lets your developers work with the open tools they like, while content is edited visually – over your design system and your components.
A big differentiator of Netlify Create’s approach is its un-obtrusiveness: developers don’t have to rebuild the site’s code around our product or our modules. You can take your site anywhere.
Netlify Create natively integrates with headless CMS’s such as Contentful and Sanity, or you can bring over from simple files or other data sources.
