About Studio
Note: Studio is currently available as part of an Early Access Program and may not be accessible to all users. For more information or to request access, contact our support team.
Studio is a web experience builder designed for enterprise use. It enables developers, marketers, and designers to collaboratively build digital experiences, such as landing pages, campaign microsites, or content-driven apps, using pre-configured components, headless CMS content, and responsive design systems.
With its intuitive visual interface, teams can drag and drop components to build structured layouts. Developers can layer in business logic and integrations where needed, enabling business users to create pages and layouts within defined guardrails, without compromising code quality.
You can create projects, link them to a stack, and build dynamic pages from scratch or with pre-built templates. Features like content type support, real-time data binding, and responsive layouts make it easy to design and launch content-rich pages, without writing code.
Who Is It For?
Studio supports cross-functional collaboration across roles:
- Marketers can visually build pages and publish campaigns faster without waiting for dev resources.
- Designers can ensure brand consistency through design token support and Figma-based imports.
- Developers can register components, apply custom business logic, and integrate APIs.

Studio Components
Studio consists of three tightly integrated components that work together to bridge design, code, and content management.
- Contentstack Figma Plugin
Use the Contentstack Figma Plugin to convert design elements into Studio-ready components.
- Simple UI Components: Paste design elements directly into Studio Canvas.
- Interactive Components: For complex elements (e.g., carousels), use the plugin with Agentic CLI to auto-generate code with embedded logic and token mappings.
This ensures designers can hand off functional components without extra dev cycles.
- Agentic CLI
The Agentic CLI is a developer tool that converts Figma designs into production-ready components.
- Automates code generation and component registration
- Aligns with design tokens and themes
- Reduces setup time and enforces consistency
Ideal for scaling component handoffs across large teams.
- Studio Canvas
Studio Canvas is the visual workspace where teams collaboratively build and publish pages.
- Use pre-registered or imported components
- Edit only developer-exposed sections
- Bind CMS fields to components
- Preview and publish changes instantly
Canvas enforces design system rules, helping non-technical users create safely within brand standards.
