Mindnow is a certified Storyblok partner


A lot has happened since we first stumbled across Storyblok in 2022. Not least our own website, which was created using Storyblok technology. Also more and more customer projects and now, since 2023, the official partnership between Mindnow and Storyblok.

But let's start at the beginning: What is Storyblok anyway and why are we so excited about it?

Storyblok, a startup from our neighboring country Austria, is a headless CMS that scores with its flexibility, but also with various advantages for editors and developers. Major companies such as Netflix, Adidas, Happy Socks, and T-Mobile have already switched to Storyblok. 

Developers create flexible components on their preferred and chosen framework, which are then edited and filled with content by editors. A nice extra: Unlike with many headless CMS providers, editors can follow the changes live in a WYSIWYG interface.

With a Headless CMS, developers can use any technology without having to worry about the impact on the front end. The generated content can be played on various channels as required. Find more information about headless CMS here: Headless E-Commerce

Storyblok has gained more and more users and therefore popularity in recent years. Although it is certainly not yet as well known as WordPress and Notion, for example, the satisfaction score is very high, which puts Storyblok in 3rd place among the most popular CMSs. (Source: Jamstack)

“In the past several months, my experience with Storyblok has allowed me to truly appreciate its intuitive interface, flexibility, and scalability. The extensive and comprehensive APIs provided by this CMS enable developers to seamlessly integrate nearly all of a website's functionalities with Storyblok. This integration has been particularly beneficial, as it allows for the implementation of changes and updates without the need to overhaul the entire site structure.”
Salvatore Pratico, Junior Frontend Developer

Advantages of Storyblok

1

Fast time-to-market

Thanks to the headless architecture, we launch new projects in the shortest possible time, with high performance right from the start.

2

Clear structure

The page structure of the Storyblok CMS can be set up entirely according to the user's wishes. The content is page-based and can be changed and added to at any time.

3

Visual Editor

The Visual Editor (WYSIWYG) is one of the biggest differences between Storyblok and other CMSs. It makes creating and editing content simple and intuitive, as editors can visually check their changes directly in the same window from the user's perspective. This not only enhances the user experience for editors but also the efficiency of structured workflows.

4

Flexibility

Storyblok not only makes the entire project structure for developers and content management for editors more flexible but also the integration of helper apps and other services. For example, SEO, translations, and Shopify integration become child's play thanks to a simple app download within the CMS. Storyblok also makes it easy to expand the site with a web store or CRM integration.

5

Internationalization

Multilingual websites are easy to implement with Storyblok. What the technology behind the translations ultimately looks like is decided from project to project, but there are various tips and tricks for any solution, such as how websites with several different languages remain easy to edit.

6

Security

Storyblok is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified. It is therefore a secure and reliable system that protects content and data.

"Having a visual editor is simply great for me as a Content Editor. Switching back and forth between language versions is also much easier with Storyblok than I'm used to with other content management systems."
Carina Felsberger, Senior UX Writer
