ABOUT

What is Storyblok?

Storyblok is a headless CMS centered around a visual editor and a component-based content model. Editors can drag and drop components directly on the page preview, making it one of the most editor-friendly headless CMS options.

BEFORE YOU SIGN UP

What you should know

✓

Visual editor with live previewEditors can build pages by dragging components onto a live preview of the site, reducing dependency on developers for layout changes.

✓

Component-based contentThe component system enforces reusable blocks with defined schemas, giving consistency across pages while keeping editors in control.

△

Single-user free tierThe free plan is limited to one user, which makes it hard to evaluate team workflows. Paid plans add seats and higher API limits.

API performanceStoryblok's API response times can be slower than pure API-first CMS platforms, especially for pages with many nested components.

COMMUNITY

From the forums

On r/webdev and r/javascript, Storyblok is frequently recommended for projects where non-technical editors need to manage complex layouts. The visual editor and component reusability are highly praised. Some developers note that the API can be slower than pure API-first alternatives and that the free tier's single-user limit is restrictive.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the Storyblok visual editor?＋

The visual editor overlays on top of your live site and lets editors click on any element to edit its content, add new components, or rearrange the page layout in real time.

Does Storyblok support custom components?＋

Yes, developers define custom components (blocs) in the CMS and implement corresponding front-end components. Editors can then use them without writing code.
