Built a blog & cms with Base44?
We'll make it production-ready.
Blog and CMS platforms live or die by their content delivery — fast page loads, proper SEO, and reliable content editing are non-negotiable. AI tools build beautiful blog layouts quickly, but the infrastructure that makes content discoverable and manageable at scale — structured data, image optimization, draft workflows, and editor permissions — needs professional attention before you publish to the world.
Blog & CMS challenges in Base44 apps
Building a blog & cms with Base44 is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
SEO and metadata management
Every blog post needs unique meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph images, canonical URLs, and structured data for rich search results. AI tools render the post content but skip the metadata layer that determines whether anyone finds it through Google.
Content editing workflow
Writers need drafts, previews, scheduled publishing, and revision history. AI-generated CMS platforms usually offer a basic text input and a publish button — no draft states, no content scheduling, and no way to revert a bad edit.
Image and media handling
Blog images need to be resized, compressed, served in modern formats (WebP/AVIF), and lazy-loaded. AI tools embed full-resolution images directly, which tanks page speed and eats storage. You need an image pipeline, not just an upload button.
Role-based access for authors and editors
Multi-author blogs need permission tiers — authors write, editors approve, admins manage settings. AI-generated auth is all-or-nothing: you're either logged in with full access or you're a reader. Server-side authorization for content operations is almost always missing.
RSS feeds and content distribution
Readers subscribe via RSS, newsletters pull content automatically, and aggregators index your feed. AI tools don't generate RSS feeds, sitemap.xml files, or the API endpoints that content distribution tools depend on.
Performance at scale
A blog with 10 posts loads fine. A blog with 1,000 posts needs pagination, static generation, incremental builds, and caching to stay fast. AI tools build for the demo, not for two years of weekly publishing.
What we check in your Base44 blog & cms
Common Base44 issues we fix
Beyond blog & cms-specific issues, these are Base44 patterns we commonly fix.
Platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure
Base44 applications run on Base44's infrastructure with proprietary abstractions. If you need to migrate to AWS, Vercel, or a custom backend, you must substantially rewrite the application since the generated code is tightly coupled to Base44's runtime.
Auto-generated backend API lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database
Base44's generated REST API endpoints often accept and persist any data that matches the field type without business-rule validation — missing required fields, out-of-range values, or invalid relationships are stored without error.
Limited customization of business logic after the initial app generation
Once Base44 generates the application structure, adding custom business logic that deviates from the generated patterns — complex workflows, conditional processing, third-party integrations — requires working around the platform rather than with it.
Database schema changes after initial generation are difficult and risk data loss
Modifying the generated database schema after data has been collected — adding columns, changing relationships, renaming tables — is fragile in Base44 and may require manual data migration that the platform does not assist with.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a blog & cms with Base44?
Base44 is a great starting point for a blog & cms. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but blog & cms apps have specific requirements — seo and metadata management and content editing workflow — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Base44 leave in blog & cms apps?
Common issues include: platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure, auto-generated backend api lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database, limited customization of business logic after the initial app generation. For a blog & cms specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for seo and metadata management.
How do I make my Base44 blog & cms production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Base44-built blog & cms apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Base44-built blog & cms?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger blog & cms projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
