Reason One + Storyblok: An award-winning partnership
Summary: From its flexibility and extensible nature as a platform to its easy-to-use editor experience, Storyblok is part of Reason One’s tech stack for many reasons. Find out why and what sets this platform apart.
Building a new website for a client is often just as much about the team’s editor experience as it is about the user experience for their audiences. As anyone tasked with managing a website knows, the harder the tools are to use, the less likely one is to use them. When examining all the available technologies on the market, Reason One chose to partner with Storyblok to deliver both of these excellent experiences simultaneously.
Here are five reasons why Storyblok is part of our tech family.
1. Visual Editor: Simplifying Content Creation
One of the standout features of Storyblok is its intuitive visual editor. This tool provides a real-time preview of the content, allowing our clients to see exactly how their changes will look on the live site before publishing. This "what you see is what you get" approach makes content creation and editing a breeze, even for non-technical users. Our clients appreciate the ability to make updates quickly and accurately without needing to dive into code or rely heavily on our development team.
2. Component-based structure: Streamlined content management
Storyblok's component-based structure allows us to organize content into reusable blocks. This modular approach simplifies content management and supports consistency across the site. The ability to re-use—rather than re-build—components not only creates efficiencies for lean and busy teams but also reduces errors that can occur in duplication of work.
3. API-Driven: Versatile integration
As a headless CMS, Storyblok can deliver content through multiple APIs, making it quite versatile. For clients that need multiple complex integrations, such as single-sign-on, digital asset management (DAM), marketing automation or other services, this allows for the selection of a flexible, best-in-class tech stack. This flexibility to choose the best tools for each project means we can create highly customized solutions tailored to our clients' unique needs. With Storyblok, the possibilities for delivering content are virtually limitless.
4. Collaboration: Enhancing teamwork
Effective collaboration is crucial for successful project delivery, and Storyblok excels in this area. It offers robust features for user roles, workflows, and version control, enabling our clients and teams to work together seamlessly. Multiple users can contribute to the content creation process, review changes, and approve updates before they go live. This collaborative environment streamlines our client’s processes and helps keep governance on track.
5. Multi-language support: Reaching global audiences
For industries like healthcare, a CMS supporting multi-language content is a must-have. Storyblok allows us to create and manage content in multiple languages, helping our clients connect with the people they seek to serve.
CREW Network: Award-winning digital transformation
When CREW Network, an international association supporting women in commercial real estate, approached Reason One to reimagine their tech stack, we wiped the slate clean and started from scratch, beginning with their CMS. They needed new ways to connect with their members, and we knew that selecting a headless platform would give them the flexibility to choose other technologies that would serve their needs best. For CREW, Storyblok was the obvious choice. The combination of a great product, excellent integrations, and a design system that ensured consistency across 55+ chapter sites not only revolutionized how CREW served their members, it also earned a Webby Award.
