Get started with the Core Blueprint

A minimal starter project with Storyblok, routing, and your framework of choice. Customize it to your needs.

We've got the tools to get you set up on Storyblok.

Framework-ready setup

Includes just what you need to get started. It sets you up with Storyblok integration, routing, and a basic page layout. No unnecessary code or opinionated structures.

Built for flexibility

Designed as a blank canvas for developers. Customize your architecture, add your own components, and build the structure that fits your project.

Out of the box deployment

Pre-wired to connect with Storyblok and deploy on Netlify in minutes. Get from zero to running project without setup friction.

All the basics you could hope for when starting a new project.

Getting started on your projects can often be difficult. Whether it's the repetitiveness of getting everything set up from scratch, or whether it's just staring at a blank slate, we know it can be tough. So why not make it easier?

How our Core Blueprint Works

Explore our Core Blueprint. The minimal setup provides you with the foundation you need, and help you build on top of that.

- Prerequisites
  
  To ensure you get the most out of this guide you’ll need the following:
  GitHub account
  Netlify/Vercel account
  Storyblok account (No account yet? Sign up here)
- Content Modelling
  
  The Core Blueprint comes with a preconfigured content model designed around flexibility and reusability. The content model defines what types of content exists. In the case of the Core Blueprint, this is the Page component. Each content type maps to a component in your application. This approach gives developers a clean structure to work with, and editors a consistent way to manage content without needing technical help. It’s the foundation that makes scalability and maintainability much easier from the start.
- GitHub Integration
  
  When you create a new project using the Core Blueprint, Storyblok automatically generates a GitHub repository with all the source code. This includes the setup for routing, dynamic rendering, component mapping, and the Storyblok integration itself. As part of the Blueprints workflow, the repository is cloned so you can start coding right away. There's no need to set up boilerplate from scratch.
  The repo also includes everything needed for deployment via Netlify or Vercel, so you can go from template to live site in just a few clicks.
- Deployment via Netlify or Vercel
  
  Deploy your Core Blueprint project to Netlify or Vercel with a preconfigured setup. A new Netlify or Vercel project is created and associated with the GitHub repository, building your project within minutes and connecting it to Storyblok's Visual Editor. This includes code updates. No server config is needed.
