A Gaborek

Software Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Headless content workflows have transformed how I design multilingual sites and iterate with clients

I think it is a perfect tool for me, but it would be nice to have some examples of best practices to set up content there, as I have a lot of freedom, and it is not really clear how to build it from scratch; I may run into problems if I do not know best practices right away. I think some tutorials on how to build from scratch content for a big website would be great. I think Storyblok is the best CMS out there; however, I would rate it a nine because there is still room for improvement, particularly with the documentation. I take off that one point because the documentation and best practices examples are missing.

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.

Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The return on investment helps me scale my business; without it, I would not even exist probably, so the return on investment is huge."

"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."

"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."

"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."

"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"

"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."

"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."

Cons

"I think Storyblok is the best CMS out there; however, I would rate it a nine because there is still room for improvement, particularly with the documentation."

"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."

"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."

"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."

"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."

"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
