Storyblok Launches Blueprints so Developers Can Skip the Setup and Start Building

Devs can go from idea to live project in minutes without boilerplate or command-line gymnastics

New York, NY – July 14, 2025  — Storyblok, the modern headless content management system (CMS) that helps teams ship faster, today announced the launch of Blueprints. It’s a new way for developers to kickstart website projects with structure, speed, and total control. Starting today, two different Blueprints are available to all Storyblok users, with more tailored for different industries coming soon.

Setting up frameworks, building components, and deploying a first draft often takes hours, sometimes days. According to a recent survey of senior developers by Storyblok, the majority (24%) say it takes them several days to set up a brand new website project and create all the components they need. Blueprints flip that on its head. With just a few clicks, developers can spin up a complete project with source code, GitHub integration, Figma design assets, and Netlify or Vercel deployment.

The time sink isn't in building components. Configuring the framework is the biggest time drain for 40% of developers, followed by creating content models from scratch (34.5%). Blueprints eliminate both hurdles, delivering a ready-to-go setup so teams can skip the scaffolding and dive into real work.

"This isn’t a demo or some stripped-down sandbox," said Dominik Angerer, CEO and Co-Founder at Storyblok. "Blueprints are production-ready foundations that let developers jump straight into real work on their terms, with their stack."

Unlike typical CMS starter kits that look fine until you crack open the codebase, Blueprints are built with real-world readiness in mind with scalable code in frameworks developers already love like Next.js, Nuxt, and Astro.

It’s speed, standardization, and scale. A whopping 100% of developers say they use templates for website projects: 61% constantly and 39% sometimes. Blueprints deliver the kind of reusable patterns teams are already relying on, but with more power, flexibility, and polish.

The frontend muscle behind these projects is no small squad either. Most teams (40%) have between 4 to 10 developers responsible for turning designs into code. And with 53.5% of website projects taking a few weeks from design to launch, any tool that can accelerate the setup process is a game-changer.

Want to swap the design system? Go for it. Add custom components? Easy. Blueprints are modular and decoupled, so you're never stuck with someone else's decisions.

"We’ve seen too many great ideas stall at step one," said Angerer. "Blueprints remove that friction. They’re a smarter way to start and a better way to build."
