Most Content Management Systems (CMS) are too rigid and cloud database services don't offer a friendly way for your clients to manage their apps. Building backend administrations is costly, time consuming, boring and usually a terrible user experience. Grasshopper exists to fill in these gaps, using Grasshopper you can spend less time doing these repetitive and costly tasks and more time focusing on your customer.

Application managers
A ready to go environment to start working right away. No more technology black holes where you have to wait until the end of the project to do your job.

Faster access to the tools you need. When developers don't have to write code to give you what you want, you will get it faster.

Security
Piece of mind knowing that you can increase client engagement by giving them something to work on sooner and give them less time to think about changes.

Philosophy

Most open source platforms only focus on developer happiness, we believe that this approach is one sided. We believe that all users of our system should be happy. Grasshopper provides tools for everyone involved in the project, developers, content managers, clients and customers alike.
