Challenges with Storyblok
Storyblock is definitely not our first choice when it comes to headless CMS. It looks sleek, sure, but its extensive documentation makes it confusing to set up. Its modular system demands time and technical assistance, and non-technical editors often get lost trying to understand spaces, stories, and components. Pricing escalates faster than an unoptimised build, especially if you want basic features.
You’ll likely lean on third-party integrations to get simple things done, and that means more complexity, more code, and more potential breakpoints. Webhook changes have also caught teams off-guard. It they deprecated without warning. So, while Storyblok isn’t terrible, it’s not plug-and-play either.
Key pain points
Customisation can take effort
Storyblok can do almost anything, but sometimes the “how” involves developer time, CLI commands, or manual tweaking. Great control, just not always plug-and-play.
Some integrations need extra work
For things like CRMs or complex platforms, you’ll likely build the integration instead of installing it. Expect a bit more engineering.
Slower editing
Real-time previews are great, but large pages or heavy components can load slowly. Occasionally, the editor UI feels less intuitive than the rest of the platform.
Asset management isn’t perfect
Renaming assets, bulk editing, or cleaning libraries can take longer than expected. It is not streamlined like the rest of the system.
Permissions are fixed
Roles are predefined. For smaller teams, that’s perfectly fine. Bigger teams may want more granular access controls than Storyblok currently offers.
Pricing jumps with scale
You get a free tier, but some advanced features sit behind higher plans. It’s worth it for projects if you want to pay more; just something teams should budget for early.
Benefits of Webflow
We're really trying to think of a good reason to love Webflow, and if you’re building a simple marketing site, a portfolio, or a 10-page brochure site, it works. Designers get pixel-perfect layouts without touching code, the HTML it spits out is clean, hosting is included, and nobody has to panic over plugin updates or random server outages. In that world, Webflow is for you.
One of the Reddit users who likes Webflow states that it has global CDN, SSL handling, and 99.99% uptime without touching a server or updating a single plugin. But to be real, Webflow isn't a platform to build on top of, it's a "one and done" kind of thing. Honestly just go to fiverr and find somebody who's designs don't suck.
But if you are dead set on it, connect with us, and we will try to develop the best solution for you.
Key advantages
Visual design without coding
Designers can build the site they see in their heads without waiting on a dev or translating Figma to HTML. You just drag, drop, animate, and publish. If you can design it, Webflow will render it.
Global CDN infrastructure
Your site gets served fast everywhere, without you configuring servers or worrying about uptime charts. Webflow handles delivery at scale, and pages load like they’ve had three shots of espresso.
Automatic SSL management
You don't need any certificates, renewals, or late-night expiration scares. SSL is handled out of the box, so security stops being a chore and starts being standard.
Clean semantic HTML output
Unlike many no-code builders, Webflow doesn’t produce spaghetti markup. The code it generates is tidy, semantic, and Google-friendly, which is why performance is generally strong.
Built-in SEO optimization
Webflow gives you proper SEO controls with meta titles, descriptions, alt text, structured data, and Open Graph. You don't need plugins or setup. It has native tools that keep your site search-friendly.
Plugin-free architecture
Webflow ships with most essentials built in, so you’re not babysitting 12 plugins just to keep the lights on. Fewer moving parts means fewer things blowing up.
