Magic.dev + Blog & CMS

Built a blog & cms with Magic.dev?
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 Magic.dev apps

Building a blog & cms with Magic.dev 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.

Common Magic.dev issues we fix

Beyond blog & cms-specific issues, these are Magic.dev patterns we commonly fix.

highCode Quality

Complex implementations that are difficult to maintain

Magic.dev's ability to generate large, multi-file implementations means it can produce sophisticated code that works but is hard for human engineers to understand, debug, or extend.

highSecurity

Security decisions made at scale without explicit review

When Magic.dev generates an entire feature spanning many files, security decisions — API authentication, data access patterns, input validation — are embedded throughout without a clear review surface.

mediumCode Quality

Over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements

Magic.dev tends toward comprehensive, extensible implementations. Simple CRUD operations may receive complex abstraction layers, generic type systems, and plugin architectures that add maintenance burden.

mediumDeployment

Dependency on Magic.dev's specific AI model for future changes

Complex generated codebases are easiest to modify by re-running Magic.dev with updated prompts. This creates dependence on continued access to their service for ongoing development.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a blog & cms with Magic.dev?

Magic.dev 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 Magic.dev leave in blog & cms apps?

Common issues include: complex implementations that are difficult to maintain, security decisions made at scale without explicit review, over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements. For a blog & cms specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for seo and metadata management.

How do I make my Magic.dev blog & cms production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Magic.dev-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 Magic.dev-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.
