Why use the Monkeydevil API?
If your client needs you to build dynamic, data-driven features into their website, then usually you'll need to either develop the back-end CMS yourself, use something you've already created, pay to get somebody else to do it for you, or use one of the widely available open source content management systems. Each of these solutions comes with it's own set of advantages, but the disadvantages are obvious.
CMS Upload/Configuration Complications, Time and Overheads
You usually have to deploy an instance of the complete content management system to the clients website server, creating a scenario where each of your clients has a different version of some kind of CMS running their website. This can take a long time to upload and to configure and can in some cases cause a disk-space overhead if you're hosting these sites yourself.
The Monkeydevil API requires the inclusion of one small text file on your server. You're given a client identification code to place inside the file, but other than that you won't need to touch it.
Creating your own CMS can be a big task
The time and cost involved in building your own CMS can push up the cost of your projects phenomenally.
Save your clients both time and money by using the Monkeydevil API and CMS. Your clients then only need to pay an annual license fee for use of the system.
Untrained clients can ruin your design
Somebody will need to access the client's CMS to add new content. Do you want that person to be you, or do you want to be designing more websites? Some content management systems give the site administrator too much control over the look and feel of a website and it's content, and untrained website administrators can cause a lot of problems for your portfolio!
Clients using the Monkeydevil CMS are given access to manage specific areas of information, and don't have control over the style or layout of the website design, so you can be sure that your design remains as-is while your client is happily updating their website content.
Bespoke CMS modules can be costly
If your client needs a non-standard CMS module for their website then this usually involves the 'creation' of something separate to the standard CMS that the client will also need to log into.
The API framework allows us to modify existing modules to create new features for you and your clients. All you have to do is send a request for a module modification or creation to our development team and they will provide a fee for the work based upon the complexity and resellability of the modification.
In summary, the Monkeydevil API provides an extendable, low-overhead, low cost CMS solution to your website implementation. Why not use the Monkeydevil API?!
