Hi,

for my last project, my client wanted a CMS to edit basically the entire webpage. I used Netlify CMS for this, but I ran into a lot of issues. I am not sure if CMSs are just hard in general.

What matters to me is pricing (ideally free forever) and that the CMS is easy to use and SIMPLE.

Is Storyblok better than NetlifyCMS? Or should I try Contentful?

Contentful

Contentful has a free plan, and a quite robust typescript node.js module. If that isn't what you're looking for, there is also plain REST api. It wouldn't hurt to try it out.

I found that in working with both Prismic (a contentful competitor) and contentful, contentful still came out on top because of their strong node.js module, as well as their import/export, environments and api key management, etc are miles ahead.

With prismic, the pricing is very nice value but that value quickly dissipates once you spend all your development time trying to tackle bugs, locale issues and redundant data entry because you messed up an instance and want to recreate it. Use this experience when considering CMSes, it's not just all about features and pricing, but developer experience.

The only downside I see are paid plan pricing (next tier is 500 a month if the free plan doesnt work for you).

Contenful is great, I had a good experience with it, but be careful with pricing, anything after the free plan is insanely expensive

Hello All,

I would like some advice on what you would suggest for a website showing products & services. Max, about 100 products. No eCommerce features are required at the moment. I will also add a search feature and a couple of forms.

I already use Storyblok CMS for the content side of things. One thing that worries me about choosing the build is I ideally don't want the public API key visible, just to prevent any future abuse. I understand if I use the build module in Nuxt.js for storybook, the API key is visible in $nuxt in the console.

Hey Andrew,

This is a common question I’ve dealt with a lot. I’ve been using Nuxt professionally for over 3 years now, and one solution is to proxy your StoryBlok requests with another api endpoint, that way you only expose the data you want while protecting any other data you’re worried about. You can do this really easily using Vercel Serverless functions. Furthermore, using the Nuxt generate command, you can statically render your content at build time so your users won’t even hit an api at all when they are using your site!

Thanks for the repsonse Levi.

Yeah i think that is the route i will take by doing proxy requests and using Nuxt. I'll have to check out Vercel, but i have used netlify serverless functions before.

Thanks again.
