Why a Cloud CMS

There are a several reason to create this architecture, here some of them:

• There is 1 API solution for all websites, we have to maintain just one code environment
• Each Website is a kind of API Client making calls to the API Layer
• We can have different website using the same Web Project the only differentiation is Request.Url.Authority and the data return is different
• We can duplicate websites using the same template but different data
• We can create a site with just one click
• There is only 1 admin platform and only 1 customer platform so if we change any of it any customer will see the changes
• Customers can have many websites in 1 customer platform and with a drop-down they can change the website to configure
• For Developers: if they want to create a website they just have to know HTML, JavaScript, CSS and a few Razor HTML Helpers
