Following the story of Contentful being selected as Red Herring finalist, there is more good news: Contentful is amongst the winners of the 2015 Red Herring Top 100 Europe event. This well-recognized award boosts our own confidence, making sure we're going in the right direction, and gives us more grounds for casual name-dropping.

Last Thursday Josh, developer at Carrot, and César, customer success master at Contentful, hosted a webinar about building static websites with Roots and Contentful. Josh showed several examples of real client projects in which he has used Roots and demonstrated how to set up a blog with Contentful and Roots in about 9m43s.

No editor likes a CMS which is uncomfortable to work with. An excellent CMS consists not only of a solid tech foundation – it also comes with an interface which doesn’t get in the way of content creators (or, better yet, a pleasant and enjoyable interface). At Contentful we care about both these aspects, so editors' satisfaction is what we strive for.

Contentful is sponsoring the technical writing contest held by Airpair. Not just a writing contest – the $100k writing contest! We invite Contentful users to tell their stories and share the experiences.

It's terribly difficult to resist the temptation to boldly brag about a well-deserved achievement. And so we go: Contentful was selected as a finalist for Red Herring Top 100 Europe award – a prestigious list honoring the most promising private technology ventures coming from Europe.
