We use Contentstack as the CMS behind our website builder platform, which powers several content-driven websites across the business including our Corporate site. Across all the sites using this platform we have around 1.5 million visitors per year. We use Contentstack's Modular Blocks functionality and link those blocks to custom components in our website builder app. This allows non-technical users in the business to design and build their own websites without the need for them to write any code, and with components that are already styled according to our brand. This functionality allows Editors in the business to be in control, and to quickly and easily build and maintain entire websites without the need for involving a Development team.

We use Contentstack to administer changes to our web applications. Items such as images, color, text, and data relationships are configured in Contentstack. This allows us to remotely change aspects of our sites without having to deploy a new version of our application. Contentstack also gives us the ability to put website changes into the hands of stakeholders outside of the technology department, where they can make and release changes as they see fit.

Our website platform is powered by Contentstack, which we find to be very useful. With Contentstack, creating page templates is easy and straightforward. We appreciate how it simplifies the process of designing a platform that is both simple and scalable, and eliminates the complexity of managing a CMS. The modular blocks functionality is a feature we love because it allows us to create reusable components that can be effortlessly dragged and dropped to create pages. Our organisation is passionate about automation, and we are impressed with the breadth of APIs and tools that Contentsack offers to help us manage our stacks via code.

We use Contentstack to run all composable media for our site - it's our main CMS and works in partnership with our headless UI solution. All content and editable messaging are run through Contenstack to show up on our site. A key component of our business is updated messaging to keep up with seasonal and market trends. We needed a solution that allows for quick, ad hoc, but still controlled content updates that we could get a large amount of the team to use. It's been incredibly helpful for us to make sure our site is always changing and up-to-date.

We use Contentstack to create and localize landingpages for our webshops. We also use it to handle SEO texts and content elements on our commerce pages like PDP, Basket & Check-Out. Other than that, we use it to power our blog. We use scheduled publishing a lot to be able to plan our work, and we make content components that can handle structured content in order to automate graphical elements on the sites.

We used Contentstack in a pretty vanilla CMS setup. The client needed to be able to update the text content for their website without the requirement for Dev resource.

Frankly, I wasn't involved with the actual setup of the, but regularly contributed to the management of the content and layout.
I found Contentstack relatively straightforward to work with, albeit the handling of image uploads / conversion could do with a little streamlining.
It needs to be stated that whilst Contentstack was rock solid in use, the implementation of a CMS was perhaps overkill for a relatively simple website - the client however we're happy with the results.

We use Contentstack to deliver content to our logged-in and non-logged-in channels, mobile and web. Mainly to deliver marketing content and description of our products. We have entire sites where all the content has been decoupled from the front end and we leave it all in CMS Headless. We also transferred all our FAQs content to Contentstack, so our business and content team can update it much more easily.
