What is Contentful Basic

Contentful is a composable content platform. A web interface that helps teams pull content from a codebase to improve delivery experiences for editors. Basic is the plan that allows you to create and publish more content than ever before.

Our platform is language and framework agnostic, giving builders the flexibility to get creative where other legacy CMS systems fall short. Plus, APIs and SDKs allow you to display content on every digital channel for endless possibilities.
