We are an official Storyblok partner

We are a Storyblok partner

As a Storyblok partner, we are delighted to be able to reach even more customers with our CMS expertise. Our goal as an agency is to offer our customers and their users the best possible website user experience (WUX). With Storyblok, we have found a partner that enables us to achieve this goal.

Certification as a Storyblok partner gives us even deeper insight and more support at all levels from our Storyblok Partner Manager. In addition, our developers also go through a certification process that requires the necessary basics for development. This allows us to stay at the cutting edge of technology and perfect our expertise in programming and development.

Thanks to Storyblok certification, we can provide our customers with more targeted advice and make better decisions about which licence options are suitable and which package is the most ideal.

The search for the perfect CMS

As a digital agency, we are always on the lookout for new technologies that help us in our work, our customers and us as an agency. Storyblok as a new headless CMS system has proven to be the right system for us. This allows us to optimise website performance, which is particularly important for SEO, right from the start. Storyblok was founded in Austria in 2015 and has developed through various rounds of financing into a corporate and enterprise CMS that inspires not only content editors but also programmers with its state-of-the-art technologies.

Storyblok has a powerful API and offers many tools for developing content. The visual editor makes publishing content very easy and is therefore ideal for content creation. Whether by individuals or large content hubs with multiple editors, Storyblok makes it possible to implement the optimal content workflow for every use case.

Why Storyblok convinced us

Web design and development are fast-moving topics, what is new and shiny today will be old and dusty tomorrow.

As an agency, our website should of course always be an example of modern web development. This forces us to redesign and relaunch regularly. No problem so far: web development is our passion.

However, laboriously migrating and revising the content for every relaunch brings us few friends and a lot of unnecessary effort. That's why it was clear to us right from the start: we wanted a headless CMS.

We wanted to have the freedom to choose our front-end technology and to be able to change it if it became outdated. We wanted to use our content not only on the website, but also in emails, apps or marketing campaigns.

With Storyblok, all of this is possible and at the same time we get a simple user interface that is intuitive and easy to use for our content team. With the Blok architecture, there are no limits to creativity: Each page can be put together as easily as with a construction kit and the result can be viewed in real time in the visual editor.

Storyblok also takes care of hosting and performance optimisation so that we can concentrate on the essentials: displaying the content.

We are also particularly impressed by the Storyblok Image Service. Thanks to this integrated CDN (Content Delivery Network), our images are automatically loaded in high quality and quickly - a real plus for our users and less work for our developers.

Speaking of developers: transferring our existing developer workflow, with code reviews, automated tests and manual testing, to a new CMS is not always easy. However, Storyblok has made it easy for us to integrate the new technology into our workflow. With the Management API, we can easily configure the CMS via API calls and thus automate otherwise tedious work steps.

Ultimately, we can say that our content team, our developers and even our partners have really taken to Storyblok and we can no longer imagine going back to traditional CMS systems.

The advantages of Storyblok

Intuitive visual editor

While other CMS systems require a tedious click on "Preview", Storyblok offers a live preview of the page in the Visual Editor. Every line that is added, every image that is replaced, is visible in the live preview in the blink of an eye. This makes it very easy for editors to create visually appealing articles and saves a lot of time.

Modern headless CMS

With a headless CMS, the content is separate from the presentation of the content. The content is created in the Storyblok application and can then be retrieved via an API. This makes it easy to display content on different channels. For example, the same blog post can be displayed on a marketing website, an e-commerce shop or an application and changes to the content are immediately passed on to all three channels.

Powerful APIs

With Storyblok, the content is played out via APIs. All modern standards are covered with Rest & GraphQL. If that's not enough, Storyblok provides another tool in the form of the "Management API". This makes it possible to create content and change configurations. This opens up a wealth of possibilities for the automation of work steps.

Simple, but still flexible

Storyblok is not about blog posts, pages or modules. With Storyblok, there are Bloks. These simple content blocks can be configured to represent blog posts, pages or modules. Storyblok has no restrictions on how content should be structured and is therefore incredibly flexible. Pretty much any content structure can be mapped and if this is not the case, there is a wealth of plugins and add-ons that add useful functions to Storyblok.

Conclusion: Why we believe Storyblok is the perfect CMS

We took the rebranding of TOWA as an opportunity to utilise all the possibilities of Storyblok.

As a certified partner, we believe that Storyblok offers nothing less than a quantum leap in CMS systems. After the first projects and the realisation of our own website, the partnership was just the next logical step.

We are excited to see what else this new age of CMS systems has to offer and look forward to realising many exciting customer projects with Storyblok.
