Why XbyK Certification Matters for Your Project
What Kentico Silver Partner Status Actually Requires
Silver Partner status is not a logo you self-apply. Kentico requires a minimum number of actively certified developers on staff, a verified track record of delivered projects, and ongoing technical assessments to maintain the tier.
Kentico independently verifies these criteria. Partners are re-evaluated as the platform evolves, so the status reflects current capability — not a one-time achievement from years ago.
What Goes Wrong With Uncertified Developers
Without XbyK certification, common mistakes include the wrong content type architecture, incorrectly configured widget zones, inefficient use of the Content Delivery API, and performance issues caused by misconfigured caching.
These mistakes are rarely visible at launch — they surface as scaling problems, editorial friction and slow pages. Refactoring them after the fact typically costs 2–3× what it would have cost to build correctly the first time.
DotStark's Certification Standard
Every DotStark developer holds current Kentico certification — not just the seniors, all 15. Each developer also passes DotStark's internal XbyK technical assessment before touching any client work.
XbyK Development: Technical Insights from Our Team
Building Custom Widgets in Xperience by Kentico
XbyK's widget system uses a controller-view-properties pattern on ASP.NET Core. Custom widgets support rich editor properties, inline editing zones and personalisable content regions. DotStark has built 200+ custom XbyK widgets across enterprise projects — from content blocks to complex personalised carousels with real-time data.
XbyK Content Delivery API: Building a Next.js Headless Frontend
XbyK's Content Delivery API exposes structured content as JSON, enabling any JavaScript framework to consume it independently of the CMS. With Next.js you get SSR/SSG flexibility, edge caching and clean separation of editorial and presentation concerns. This article walks through the full architecture DotStark uses for headless XbyK projects.
Integrating Salesforce CRM with Xperience by Kentico
Connecting Salesforce to XbyK requires decisions about data flow direction, sync frequency and identity resolution. DotStark has integrated XbyK with Salesforce for 12 enterprise clients using three distinct architecture patterns — each suited to different data volumes and team structures. This article covers each pattern with pros, cons and implementation guidance.
