Glide Publishing Platform launches Glide Go Builder

A visual site-building tool for editorial and marketing teams to launch new sites faster — no dev required

Posted

The addition of Glide Go Builder to Glide Go lets small or fast-moving teams move faster and compete better without being slowed by technology.

Glide Publishing Platform, the technology provider behind the leading headless content management system Glide CMS, and audience interaction platform Glide Nexa, announces the introduction of Glide Go Builder, a leap forward in the rapid creation and launch of enterprise-grade websites for any business.

Glide Go Builder transforms headless CMS usability by adding a new user-friendly design and page-building interface to bring complex enterprise technology into the reach of small and mid-sized publishers and niche media brands without development resources.

Build fast, and Go

Glide Go Builder is a new visual site-building tool integral to Glide Go — the turnkey instance of Glide CMS paired with a complete front end fully hosted and managed by Glide. Glide Go cuts cost and time by delivering a preconfigured site and fully-featured headless CMS, for equipped teams to take sites live in days instead of weeks or months: just add content and go.

With Glide Go Builder, everything is quicker and simpler. Powerful modern media and publishing sites can be created and launched in moments by non-technical staff browsing flexible templates and components for homepages, section pages, articles, video and image galleries, content recommendations, and more. Just add content, and go — faster.

Making headless painless

“Headless CMS are the go-to technology for today’s audience projects at scale. They are immensely flexible, much more resilient and much cheaper in the long run than old-style CMS,” said Rich Fairbairn, chief product officer for Glide Publishing Platform.

“While headless has all those benefits, the tech can present a high barrier to entry for smaller teams who don’t have a lot of development expertise or budget to build sites. These days that is relevant to everyone.

“Lots of projects which everyone knows would be best done with a headless CMS end up on basic site-building platforms because it was quicker to do and didn’t need much in the way of technical expertise — even if everyone knew it was going to lead to problems down the line.

“Glide Go Builder opens up that easy onboarding and launch but with all the benefits of a full-power SaaS headless CMS — predictable costs, amazing support, global coverage, AWS power, AI tools, it’s never out of date, new features on stream, and you never need to maintain or update any of it.

“The visual site builder is transformational to headless users who can now design and build pages on the spot without any great expertise or dev input, and also to old-style CMS users who want the power and capability of headless but couldn’t quite make the leap.”

All the features, no extra cost

Glide Go Builder is available now as part of Glide Go. As with all features of Glide CMS, Glide Go Builder is provided at no extra cost. Use the full power of Glide Go to:

  • Launch instantly using a preconfigured CMS and front-end, ready for content out of the box.
  • Design visually with a library of publisher-focused templates and drag-and-drop components.
