Website Features

Each website developed by IT Monks is equipped with features specifically tailored for the media and publishing industry. No off-the-shelf templates. Only purpose-built functionality designed to meet the complex demands of digital publishers and ensure long-term scalability and operational efficiency.

Content Management and Publishing

IT Monks equips websites with advanced content management tools, including article scheduling, multimedia embedding, rich text editing, version control, and smart tagging systems.

SEO & Performance Optimization

To enhance discoverability and load speed, IT Monks implements structured data (schema markup), auto-generated sitemaps, Open Graph/meta tag configuration, and other SEO foundations. Performance is boosted through techniques like lazy loading, WebP image conversion, and the use of global CDNs to ensure fast, smooth content delivery.

Functionality includes customizable paywalls, freemium or metered access models, and sponsored content workflows with built-in tagging, disclosures, and editorial controls.

Social Media & Distribution

IT Monks streamlines content distribution across channels through automated publishing workflows, Open Graph and Twitter Card support, and the generation of RSS feeds. Social media embedding and native sharing functionality are embedded to help drive organic reach and reader interaction.
