What is Contentful?

Contentful is a composable, API-first content platform that lets you create content once and publish it to any channel – website, app, kiosk or device – without a developer in the loop for every change. It replaces the rigid page-and-template model of a traditional CMS with a content model you design around your business, delivered through RESTful and GraphQL APIs. Where a traditional CMS ties content to one website, Contentful treats content as a reusable building block that any team or platform can draw on.

What Contentful has to offer

Contentful’s content infrastructure provides a central hub for creating, managing and publishing content on any digital channel. Contentful allows you to:

Model content your way: Build a content structure tailored to your business, not one forced on you by page templates.

Create once, ship everywhere: Publish the same content to your website, apps and any other digital channel from a single hub.

Edit without developers: A rich editor interface, flexible roles and permissions, and multi-language support let content teams work independently.

Build with modular components: Reuse and remix content and design components across campaigns, brands and regions instead of rebuilding from scratch each time.

Personalise in real time: No-code tools let marketers tweak, test and tailor experiences without waiting on a developer.

Integrate on your terms: A RESTful and GraphQL API, microservices architecture and sub-100ms payload delivery give developers full programmatic control.

Why choose Contentful?

Contentful is one of the most widely used composable content platforms, trusted by brands including Kraft Heinz, Mailchimp, BigCommerce and, in Australia, Suncorp, Rheem, Officeworks and our own client, Nintendo.

Contentful FAQs

What is Contentful? Contentful is a composable, API-first content platform that lets you create content once and publish it to any website, app or digital channel from a single hub, without a developer needed for every change.

What does a Contentful partner agency do? A Contentful partner agency designs your content model, implements and migrates you onto the platform, then helps your team get value from it. Luminary handles content modelling, implementation, integration, change management, and ongoing content services and consulting.

Is Contentful suitable for multi-brand or multi-region content? Yes. Contentful's content modelling and multi-language capabilities are built for managing several brands or regions from one hub, with roles and permissions to control who can edit what.
