Challenges with Basehub
BaseHub is one of those platforms that feels like it was built by a developer, for a developer, and at no point did anyone ask, “Won't marketers need to be able to edit on the go?” Once you’re inside, it’s tables inside tables inside tables, like a Russian doll but somehow less fun. And as we’ve said before, we genuinely appreciate good engineering… but BaseHub often feels like someone shipped the database schema and called it a CMS.
BaseHub is painful to use, in our opinion. Because the platform is still young, features sometimes glitch, real-time collaboration hiccups, and localization or migration workflows can get messy fast. Documentation gaps and unpredictable branching only add to the frustration. If you're determined to build on BaseHub, we can walk you through the safest path… or at least help you avoid the inevitable “why is this breaking again?” moments.
Key pain points
Occasional feature glitches
New features sometimes ship a bit wobbly, so expect the occasional “why is this suddenly broken?” moment.
Not yet enterprise-ready
It’s great for small teams, but big orgs will hit walls fast. Workflow maturity and stability just aren’t there yet.
Limited third-party integrations
If you rely on a rich ecosystem, BaseHub won’t meet you halfway. You’ll be wiring a lot of things yourself.
Localization support gaps
Multi-region content teams will feel the pain quickly as language handling still needs serious tightening.
API rate limiting constraints
Push it too hard and you’ll hit rate limits faster than you expect, which can block larger deployments.
Sporadic stability issues
Real-time collaboration and branching can hiccup under pressure, making scaling workflows frustrating.
Benefits of Storyblok
If you’ve ever tried explaining “headless” to a content team and watched their eyes glaze over, Storyblok is your peace offering. On the surface, it appears to be great. For instance, its visual editor makes you feel like you are finally living in 2025. But start digging, and you’ll find some gremlins in the codebase and the pricing page. Their APIs are still missing some basic functionalities like fetching child or sibling pages.
Still, if Storyblok is your choice, we can make it work. Our team knows how to set it up cleanly, dodge the common blockers, and keep your build from turning into another “looked nice, aged badly” project.
Key advantages
Visual editing capabilities
Yes, you read that right, you can do real-time, on-page editing. Make a change, see it instantly, no staging limbo, which means you can stop “guess and publish.”
Component-based approach
You can build a component once and use it everywhere. You can also update a button or banner in one place, and the entire site fixes itself.
Efficient content structuring
Your content stays clean, organised, reusable, and not scattered across 40 pages. Developers work with structured data, editors drag-and-drop pieces like Lego. Everyone gets to stay sane.
Robust multi-language support
One CMS, many languages, zero chaos. Localise content without duplicate pages, messy exports, or spreadsheet archaeology.
Collaborative environment
Writers, designers, and editors can all jump in at the same time without breaking each other’s work. Add comments and approvals. View version histories for teamwork without the headache.
Highly customisable
If your design system can imagine it, you can use Storyblok to model it. There are custom fields, workflows, and logics that can bend to your stack rather than the other way around.
