Question 1

What does it mean to move to a headless CMS?

Accepted Answer

A headless CMS separates content management from how it's displayed. Instead of one system controlling both your content and your website's design, content lives independently and can be delivered to any frontend, a website, an app, or other channels, through an API. Storyblok is one of the leading headless CMS platforms.

Question 2

How long does a Storyblok project take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Our proof-of-concept approach means you'll see working results early, with a full timeline confirmed once we understand your specific setup.

Question 3

How much does a Storyblok project cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope, a content migration looks very different from a full custom build. Get in touch and we'll give you a real estimate after a short discovery call.

Question 4

Does Storyblok work with e-commerce platforms like Shopify or commercetools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Storyblok is API-first, which means it connects cleanly to Shopify, commercetools, and other tools already in your stack,  letting you manage content and commerce data separately while keeping them in sync.

Question 5

Can marketing teams use Storyblok without a developer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's one of Storyblok's core strengths. Its Visual Editor lets marketing and content teams create and update pages directly, using pre-built components, without touching code.

Question 6

Why choose Storyblok over WordPress?

Accepted Answer

Storyblok separates content management from the frontend, avoiding the performance and security issues that come with plugin-heavy systems like WordPress. Teams manage content through a visual editor without needing developer support for every change.

Question 7

How does a WordPress-to-Storyblok migration work?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a step-by-step approach: starting with a proof of concept for the most important pages, followed by the full migration. This keeps your existing presence stable during the transition while we build a clean structure and content models in Storyblok.

Question 8

Is MVST an official Storyblok Partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes, MVST is a Storyblok Gold Partner. This partnership tier confirms experience with enterprise projects and direct access to the Storyblok team for technical support and best practices.

Question 9

What is Storyblok?

Accepted Answer

Storyblok is a headless CMS that separates content management from presentation. Marketing teams can manage content independently from development, while content is flexibly delivered across web, mobile, and other channels.

Question 10

Can a prototype built with AI tools be made production-ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many apps built with AI coding tools or vibe coding can be prepared for production with proper security checks, infrastructure configuration, and architecture improvements. This process helps turn a fast prototype into a stable, launch-ready product.

Question 11

What should be checked before launching an AI-built app?

Accepted Answer

Before launching an AI-built product, teams should review infrastructure configuration, authentication flows, API exposure, data storage, and GDPR compliance. These checks help ensure the product is production-ready and secure.

Question 12

What security risks exist in AI-built or vibe-coded applications?

Accepted Answer

Common risks include exposed environment variables, unsecured APIs, public database access, and missing authentication controls. These issues often appear in quickly built MVPs created with AI coding tools or app builders.

Question 13

Is it safe to launch an app built with AI tools or vibe coding?

Accepted Answer

Many AI-built or vibe-coded apps work well as prototypes but may expose risks before launch. Common issues include exposed API keys, insecure authentication, or misconfigured databases. A launch readiness review ensures the app is secure, stable, and ready for real users.
