How does a Storyblok implementation work?

In six steps: discovery workshop, content model, design and components, development and integration, migration and go-live, followed by operations and evolution. The content model is the most important decision, because it determines how flexibly your editors can work later on.

How long does a Storyblok project take?

That mainly depends on three factors: the scope of the content model, the number of integrations and the amount of content to migrate. After the discovery workshop, you get a reliable timeline from us rather than a rough guess.

How much does a Storyblok implementation cost?

Costs consist of the Storyblok licence and the project effort. Storyblok offers a free Starter plan, the self-service Growth and Growth Plus plans, and Premium and Elite on request. Project effort depends on the content model, frontend, integrations and migration. You get a reliable estimate after the discovery workshop.

Can Storyblok be connected to Shopware or Magento?

Yes. Storyblok delivers content via API, while Shopware or Magento handle catalogue, cart and checkout. Marketing maintains landing pages, campaigns and brand content in the Visual Editor without touching the shop's release cycle. Products can be selected directly in the editor via apps or custom field plugins.

How do you migrate from WordPress or TYPO3 to Storyblok?

We don't copy content page by page. We map it to the new content model and import it automatically via the Management API. A redirect plan keeps your rankings and backlinks intact, and outdated content is left behind along the way.

When is Storyblok not the right choice?

If you're planning a small website without an in-house development team or integrations, Storyblok is usually oversized, because every frontend is custom-built. Self-hosting isn't an option either: Storyblok runs as SaaS only. We address both openly in the first conversation.

Do you support Storyblok projects after go-live?

Yes. We handle maintenance, frontend dependency updates, new components and training for new editors. If needed, we automate content processes such as translation or approvals using webhooks or Storyblok FlowMotion.

Storyblok agency for headless CMS, content and commerce

We implement Storyblok, model your content, build the frontend and connect the CMS to Shopware, Magento, Symfony and the rest of your system landscape. From the first architecture workshop to ongoing operations.

What a Storyblok agency does for you

A Storyblok agency plans, develops and runs digital platforms built on the Storyblok headless CMS. Because Storyblok has no frontend of its own, the real work isn't creating pages. It lies in three disciplines: content modelling, frontend development and integration with your existing systems.

We cover all three. Whether it's a corporate website, a brand platform or content inside your online shop, the result is a CMS your editors can run on their own and an architecture your developers can keep building on. For the technical background, see our overview of Storyblok as a headless CMS.

Our Storyblok services

From the first architecture decision to day-to-day operations, we support your Storyblok project at every stage, end to end or for individual parts.

We assess whether Storyblok fits your requirements, choose the right plan, frontend stack and hosting, and plan languages, roles and workflows. The result is a target architecture that makes effort and risks visible early on.

What sets us apart as a Storyblok partner

We are part of the Storyblok partner network and have been building headless architectures for many years. Four things make the difference:

Commerce experience: As a Shopware and Magento agency, we know where content and shop should be separated and how the two work together.
PHP expertise: We co-developed the official PHP packages for Storyblok together with the Storyblok team.
Design and engineering under one roof: Our UX/UI unit designs the components that we then model and develop.
Honest assessment: If Storyblok is oversized for your project, we'll tell you in the first conversation.

How a Storyblok project works

Every project follows the same six steps. How long each step takes depends on the amount of content, languages and integrations.

1. Discovery workshop

We define goals, channels, languages, systems and editorial processes, and check whether Storyblok is the right fit.

2. Content model

Content types, blocks and fields are derived from your real content, not from page templates.

3. Design and components

Our UX/UI team designs a component system that editors and developers both work with.

4. Development and integration

We build the frontend, connect the Visual Editor, shop, PIM and other systems, and test everything end to end.

5. Migration and go-live

Content is migrated via the Management API, redirects are set up and your editors are trained.

6. Operations and evolution

Maintenance, new components and automation so the platform grows with your requirements.

FAQ

A Storyblok agency plans and builds projects on the Storyblok headless CMS: it designs the content model, develops the frontend, connects the Visual Editor and integrates Storyblok with your shop, PIM and other systems. After go-live, it takes care of maintenance and further development.
