From Storyblok to Uniform

Challenges with Storyblok

Key pain points

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.

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 Uniform

Key advantages

Uniform positions itself as a “composable DXP,” which is enterprise-speak for “it does a bit of everything on top of your actual CMS.” To be fair, the visual workspace is genuinely useful. Marketers get drag-and-drop control, personalization, and A/B testing without pinging developers every five minutes. And if you’re already juggling multiple systems (CMS, commerce, DAM), the orchestration layer can tidy up the chaos.

That said… we’ll be honest, we don’t really build with DXPs like this anymore. Whenever a headless tool starts shouting “DXP” from the homepage, it usually means heavyweight architecture, unnecessary complexity, and a bill only Fortune 500 companies would smile at. If you’re considering it anyway, feel free to get in touch. We’ll happily walk you through better, modern alternatives before you sink a quarter’s budget into something you probably don’t need.

Visual experience composition

Uniform’s visual builder lets marketers piece together pages without pinging developers every 5 minutes. It’s basically a drag-and-drop layer on top of your headless stack.

Multi-source content federation

Uniform pulls content from multiple CMSs, DAMs, and commerce tools into one interface, so you don’t need 10 tabs open to build a single page

Real-time collaboration tools

Teams can edit, plan, and experiment together without overwriting each other’s work. It’s built for big organisations where ten people touching the same page is a weekly occurrence.

Enterprise-grade scalability

Uniform is built to handle traffic spikes and heavy personalisation workloads. It’s overkill for small sites but a safe bet for enterprises terrified of a Black Friday outage.

Omnichannel content management

You can pipe the same content across web, apps, and any other channel marketing dreams up. Useful for brands juggling multiple experiences without wanting to rebuild the same page three times.
