The Missing CMS for Your Base44 App

You launched a web app with Base44 using AI. It works. But now you need real content management — not a spreadsheet with an API.

Why Base44 Apps Need a Real CMS

Base44 gets you from zero to deployed fast. But the generated apps have content management limitations:

  • Content trapped in code — Marketing copy, FAQs, pricing, testimonials are all hardcoded
  • No editing interface for non-developers — Content changes require opening the code editor
  • No structured content model — No field types, validation, or content relationships
  • No media pipeline — No image optimization, cropping, or responsive variants
  • No content governance — No drafts, no approval workflows, no revision history
  • Limited scalability — Adding a blog or product catalog means rearchitecting

Base44 + Decoupled.io = Real Product

Turn your Base44 prototype into a production app with proper content infrastructure.

Visual Editor for Content Teams

Your marketing team updates landing pages with drag-and-drop. 10 component types (hero, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, etc.), AI-assisted content generation, and live preview. No developer needed.

AI Migration

Our 25+ MCP tools work with Claude or Cursor to rewrite your Base44 app's data layer:

You: "I have a Base44 app for a coffee shop with menu items,
     locations, and a blog. Set up a CMS for it."

Claude: Created content types for Menu Item (name, price, description,
        category, image), Location (name, address, hours, map),
        and Blog Post (title, body, author, featured image).
        Imported your existing content. Here are the GraphQL queries.

Enterprise-Grade Content

Drupal has powered enterprise content for 20+ years:

  • Structured content modeling — Custom fields, entity references, taxonomies
  • Publishing workflows — Draft → Review → Publish with role-based permissions
  • Multi-language — 100+ languages with content translation
  • SEO built-in — URL aliases, meta tags, XML sitemaps, structured data
  • API-first — GraphQL and JSON:API auto-generated from your content model

The Vibe-Coding to Production Path

Vibe-coding tools like Base44, Lovable, and Bolt.new are incredible for getting started. But production apps need:

  1. Content that non-developers can edit — A visual editing UI, not source code
  2. Structured data — Content types with validation, not JSON blobs
  3. A real API — Auto-generated, documented, type-safe — not custom endpoints
  4. Infrastructure — Managed hosting with scaling, backups, and security
  5. Governance — Revisions, workflows, permissions, audit trails

Decoupled.io provides all of this. Your Base44 frontend stays exactly as-is — we just give it a proper backend.
