Enterprise
Your data, your components, your pages — independent by design.
SnowBlock separates how your content is structured, how it is rendered, and how pages are composed — so you can replace one layer without rebuilding the other two.
Built for
And organisations that are several of these at once.
Architecture
SnowBlock separates content, components and page composition. That means each layer can evolve without forcing the others to move with it.
Define what your content is, separately from how it looks.
Create the types your business actually has — Article, Product, Location, Vehicle — with their own fields, rules and relationships. One schema can carry thousands of instances, and changing it changes them all.
What you get
Build the components that render your content, and bind fields to props.
Write a real component in React, in your own repository, and declare its props as JSON Schema. Then bind a content type to it: the Article schema's title and body become the component's props.
What you get
Compose pages from your components and populate them with your content.
Pages are assembled from the components you register, drawing on the types you define. Layouts set the frames and the URLs they answer to. Editors compose without touching code, and your schemas define what they can place and enter.
What you get
What we ship above the cut. What you can bring instead, below it.
Independence
One case per layer.
Your product data lives in SAP, your articles in a content system you already run, your locations somewhere nobody wants to touch. Connect to them instead of moving everything.
Components and pages keep working against the same contracts.
You already have a design system, audited and paid for. Register those components instead of rebuilding them.
Its accessibility work and brand rules come with it.
Render structured content yourself — a native app, a kiosk, a partner feed, a framework we do not ship.
Data and mapping work without our presentation layer at all.
Most teams never swap a layer on day one. The point is that doing it in year three is a project, not a migration.
The underlying architecture stays the same. The problems it solves depend on how your organisation operates.
You did not set out to run forty websites. They accumulated — and now nobody can say how many exist, or whether they follow the same standards.
Two hundred sites is two hundred accessibility liabilities. A shared component library makes it one.
Governance
Enterprise governance works best when the system enforces the rules instead of relying on a policy document alone.
The components your site renders, the ones preview shows and the ones the editor offers all come from a single definition. There is no second list to maintain separately.
Every publish is a signed RPC against a per-tenant keypair. Cache invalidation is an HMAC-verified webhook. A publish that did not come from the tenant does not happen.
Federated component bundles ship with Subresource Integrity hashes. A modified bundle does not execute.
Component schemas generate TypeScript prop types during the build. A component that drifts from its schema surfaces as a type error rather than a runtime failure.
Editors change what you allow them to change. The baseline underneath stays yours.
SSO, role-based access, audit logs, separate environments, self-hosting and private-region deployment.
SnowBlock is built around standards and code you control. Your components stay in your repository. Your schemas stay portable. Your content stays structured.
Your components are ordinary React code in your repository. They are not tied to a proprietary template language, so they remain part of your codebase whether you stay with SnowBlock or not.
Your content types are defined using JSON Schema, not a SnowBlock-specific format. The schema remains usable outside SnowBlock and can move with your architecture.
Export your schemas and content as structured data that preserves the underlying model. You do not have to reconstruct your content from rendered HTML.
Model the content first
Define your types, fields and relationships before moving pages. Your content model becomes the contract between your data and the experience built on top of it.
Move in slices
Move a section, template or site at a time. Because the layers are independent, a partial migration remains a working system rather than becoming a half-finished rebuild.
Keep what already works
If your product data belongs in your PIM, keep it there where supported. If another system already does its job well, SnowBlock does not require you to replace it just to adopt the platform.
Stay because SnowBlock earns its place, not because your architecture depends on it.
Bring your current architecture, data model, and integrations. We'll show you where SnowBlock fits, what can stay in place, and what you can replace without rebuilding everything around it.
