Birkly is software that lets you create and edit your website’s content (pages, blog posts, product listings, events, team members, and more) without writing code. You log in to a web page called the admin panel, fill in forms, upload images, and click Save. Your actual website then shows that content automatically.

How it’s different from editing a “normal” website

• Without a CMS: To change a headline or add a blog post, someone has to edit code or HTML files, then upload or deploy. That usually requires a developer.
• With Birkly: You open the admin, click the content you want to change (or click “New entry” to add something), edit the text or image in the form, and save. The site shows the update as soon as visitors load the page (or when the client script fetches the latest content). No coding required.

Where is my content stored?

Birkly saves your content as simple files in a format called JSON (a standard, readable text format). These files sit in a content folder on the server. That means:

• You don’t need a separate database like MySQL or PostgreSQL for the content itself.
• Backing up can be as simple as copying the content and media folders.
• Teams often put these files in version control (e.g. Git) so they can see who changed what and when.

Example: A “Blog posts” collection might have a folder like content/collections/blog/entries/. Each post is one JSON file (e.g. my-first-post.json) containing the title, content, date, and other fields you defined.

How does my website show the content?

Two main options:

1. Client script (simplest): You add one script tag to your website’s HTML. That script talks to Birkly, fetches the content, and fills in placeholders you’ve written in the page (e.g. “show the title here,” “list all blog posts”). Your HTML stays static; the script replaces the placeholders when the page loads.
2. API: A developer can have your site or app call Birkly’s Public API to get content as data (e.g. JSON) and then display it in a custom layout (e.g. a React or Vue app).

So: you edit in Birkly; visitors see the result on your site. The admin is never public—only people with an account can log in.

Who is it for?

• Content editors and marketers: Update text, images, and structure without touching code.
• Small business owners and designers: One place to manage all site content and media.
• Developers: Connect any frontend (static HTML, React, mobile app) via the client script or the Public API; optional automation (webhooks, scheduled tasks) and plugins for custom behaviour.

Real-world example

Imagine a small agency that runs several client websites. They install Birkly once per client (or use one Birkly with different projects). For each site they create collections such as “Services,” “Team,” “Blog,” and “Testimonials.” The client (or the agency) logs in, adds or edits entries, and publishes. The live site pulls the content from Birkly, so the client never has to wait for a developer to “put the new blog post online.”
