DevilD CMS

DevilD Media needed a flexible content management system that could power multiple digital properties with different content structures. Their existing WordPress setup was becoming increasingly difficult to customize and scale. They required a headless CMS with a powerful API, flexible content modeling, and a user-friendly interface that non-technical staff could use.

We developed a custom headless CMS using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB for the backend, with a React-based admin interface. The system features a powerful content modeling tool that allows administrators to define custom content types with various field types and validation rules. The GraphQL API provides efficient, flexible data retrieval for multiple frontend applications.

The CMS uses MongoDB as its primary datastore, with flexible document schemas to support different content types. We implemented a custom content modeling system that generates GraphQL types and resolvers dynamically based on the defined content models. The React admin interface uses a component-based approach for different field types, making it easy to extend with new field types. We implemented JWT-based authentication with role-based access control for fine-grained permissions.

The new CMS has significantly improved content management efficiency at DevilD Media. Content editors can now create and publish content 3x faster than with the previous system, and developers have been able to build new frontend applications that consume the CMS API in record time.
