What is Scrivito in 2026?
Scrivito is a CMS built for JavaScript front ends, and it is now marketed by the JustRelate Group, based in Berlin and Wrocław, under the name JustRelate Web Builder. The product site is live, offers a free trial and a demo, and carries a 2025 copyright. It describes a serverless cloud architecture, a central content hub for several projects, asset management and omnichannel delivery. Scrivito has long been known for editing content directly on the rendered page. The pages we checked do not detail that feature today, so confirm it in a demo.
Who it suits
Scrivito suits mid-size and enterprise teams, often in the German market, that want a hosted CMS with in-context editing and a React front end the developers own. It works for multi-site setups where one content hub feeds several brands or languages. It is a niche product, so the pool of developers who know it is small.
How does the rename affect you?
Searches for Scrivito and documentation can lead to JustRelate pages, and some older tutorials use the former product name. Plan for that when you onboard developers. Put the vendor’s current docs link in your project README. Before signing, ask the vendor about its long-term roadmap and what export formats it supports.
How does a Scrivito project run?
We start by auditing your current site: templates, widgets, languages and the integrations behind them. Then we define the page and widget model and prototype a few key templates in React, so editors can try in-context editing early. Migration scripts move content in batches, and we compare page by page before cutover. We also set up redirects, sitemaps and monitoring, because enterprise migrations are judged on whether rankings hold.
What does it cost to own?
Costs split into the vendor subscription, which the vendor quotes after a demo, hosting for the front end, and developer time. Multi-site setups add effort for shared components and translation. We scope the build after the audit and do not guess figures before it.
When we would pick something else
If the main goal is visual editing with a larger community, Storyblok is the platform we compare first. For enterprise governance and a mature partner network, we look at Contentstack and Contentful. The SaaS CMS comparison lines these up, and our headless CMS service page explains how we run the selection.
What we build with Scrivito
