About Storyblok
Storyblok is a headless content management system that uniquely combines a powerful visual editor with a modern API-first architecture. It enables marketing teams to create, edit, and preview content in real time using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, while developers retain full flexibility to build with any frontend framework or technology stack. The platform uses a component-based content modeling approach, allowing teams to define reusable content blocks that maintain consistency across websites, mobile apps, and other digital channels. Storyblok's visual editor provides a true WYSIWYG experience with live preview, so content creators can see exactly how their changes will look before publishing — no developer assistance required. With built-in localization, granular role-based access control, and a robust CDN-backed delivery API, Storyblok scales from small marketing sites to complex enterprise digital experiences. The platform also offers AI-powered content assistance, scheduled publishing workflows, and integrations with popular e-commerce and marketing tools, making it a versatile choice for omnichannel content delivery.
