Super easy to navigate and organize your content. And you can have multiple spaces in case you want to keep different content projects separate.
Don't dislike anything, but it definitely feels pretty basic for non-developers. Although I do love that it's usable by non-developers like me while providing additional functionality to people who understand code.
Building the back end of a blog for a side project I'm working on with my developer friend.
Storyblok allows us to create schemas without any limitations. Its flexibility is unmatched. We were able to create a massive block-based website and it had a solution to every requirement we had – from advanced editor permissions, to its own image optimization service.
If I were to point something that's not great in Storyblok it would definitely be its dashboard. The UI (and, sometimes, the UX) could use a little work. It could also be nice to have a "repeatable" field that could allow us to create a single-use schema (instead of having to create a new independent schema and using "block" with component whitelist).
We're building apps and websites that allow more flexibility and independence for the clients
Easy to implement, great for complex projects with different teams and roles. Easy to set up multilanguage pages. Pricing is ok.
There is nothing I do not like about this product. I use it for more than 15 Projects already, and it's an excellent fit for all my use cases until now.
We create complex websites and mobile apps.
The headless CMS offers great features out of the box. It is particularly noteworthy that the block-based approach offers the developer maximum flexibility - the unique visual editor helps the customer a lot to make use of this feature without any technical knowledge. The ease of use when implementing Storyblok into any application developed in any language is remarkable. Storyblok is a perfect fit when working with a modern techstack, e.g. JAMstack (with any component-based frontend framework). It helps to develop fast, being able to customize as much as needed and deliver quickly. Even extending the functionality in the Storyblok backend UI is possible through field-types and apps.
Compared to other (headless) CMS it's hard to find criticism. The only thing which could have felt more intuitive for a beginner is the way to query the content delivery API - which does not follow default REST principles. But one get used to it quickly.
Storyblok enables a lot of opportunities to solve all kind of different problems. At our digital agency we use Storyblok to create marketing and e-commerce websites as well as custom business applications. As we use VueJS (NuxtJS) to build most of the applications, the block-based approach helps us to structure our applications, even when the CMS is not actually used by our clients. We are able to quickly combine and nest all kind of developed components to build a blazing fast JAMstack webapp.
- Funktionierendes System - Einfache Schnittstelle - Gute Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeit - Gute Account- und Inhaltsübersicht - Guter Support
Bis jetzt nur gute Erfahrungen gesammelt
Storyblok ist bei uns als Content-Managementsystem im Einsatz. Bisher wurden folgende Themen umgesetzt: - Megamenü - SEO-Texte - Text-, Bild- und Videoelemente - Shop the look
Storyblok's key feature it the block-based structure which allows the content editors to reuse components when building their webpages. They also nail the Internationalisation of the content in the CMS.
They have a lot of awesome features which they don't flesh out properly in their documentation.
We are capable of building websites in record time. Their structure also enables our company to build our own tools on top.
An easy and fast way to deploy a CMS to small, medium and large companies. Very intuitive backend for all the content work and an amazing improvement in the page speed.
There are no worries, The system is running smoothly, not one outtake in more then 3 years and the further development still promises a lot for the future.
Bulding up a website in a very short time. To scale the workload was an easy task.
We have a lot of product data and user-generated content which we wanted to make available on our website. With traditional content management systems, it was very difficult to integrate those things. Storyblok gave us the flexibility we needed. Furthermore, we love the speed and performance of the Storyblok admin interface. This enables our content editors to do their job faster and spend less time waiting for things to load. Also, the visual editor works great and makes it possible for non-technical people to write and edit content as well.
We are very satisfied and do not have any issues
We had several challenges which our old CMS: 1.) integrate our data which is produced for our apps and other products into our website 2.) improve the performance and loading speed of our website to improve SEO metrics 3.) make content editing faster and more fun for our content editors Regarding 1: since Storyblok provides all the data as JSON and our product-data and user-generated content is served by a REST API it was easy to combine those two APIs. We were able to use programming languages and frameworks we love and know and weren't locked into the technology which was used and defined by the old legacy CMS. Regarding 2: To make it easy for our content editors to work with the old CMS we installed lots of plugins and over time the website became pretty slow. Also after applying all caching and performance tips and tricks we weren't fully satisfied. Because of the great structure of the Storyblok API it was possible for us to implement very aggressive caching and basically save the final HTML on the webservers disk. This brought is nearly "static site" performance but with the possibilities to edit content within the Storyblok admin interface. Regarding 3: Another problem which was very annoying for our content editors, was the problem that the admin interface of the old CMS loaded very slowly. Therefore they spent most of the time waiting for the admin interface to load. Even correcting a typo took them minutes because they needed to navigate through the site structure and needed to wait on each click. The Storyblok admin interface is very fast and snappy and you can click through it without spending time looking at the loading spinner. Also, the visual editor and live updates are a great improvement for our content editors. Now they can edit content very fast and are not slowed down by the CMS tool.
- Storyblok can connect to every tech stack without effort. - It's super easy to create new content types and retain relationships previously created. - The visual editor is what our customers love and what helps developers understand business needs - The whole product has a DevOps mindset which is very important in Enterprise: Workflows, backups, APIs. It's an invaluable tool inside every business process we have running - The image service is on par with dedicated image SaaS tools and fully integrated into the solution. More value for my money
I can hardly find anything to dislike. Every experience from setup to support has been nothing but positive.
Maintaining customer sites of all sizes from small landing pages to multi-page documentations (2500+ pages). The immediate benefit I got was a true separation of concerns: People start managing content again, creating heaps of knowledge without being forced to think about representation. But due to the excellent visual editor, you literally never lose sight of the final result. This is UX at its finest Focus on the core task, make aware of the entire picture. Due to the unique separation of content into separate units called Bloks, content teams are faster than never before. The content becomes a manageable mesh, rather than a deeply nested tree of pages. Content creators can navigate a lot easier.
It is incredibly good to work with: Editors love the visual editor and the freedom to change content within seconds, developers love the component structure and the helpful team behind Storyblok.
We would love to see a customizable naming of the components for the editors.
We are developing enterprise-scale websites with Storyblok and Netlify. Now our clients have got a future-proof web development architecture. The benefits are top performance, scalability and ease of use for the businesses. Our clients do save $ in comparison with CMS solutions like AEM without compromises on their product website.
