How can you convince future customers that your products and APIs provide the best solution for their needs? How can you address users that are interested in how to excel their business?

In this article we will focus on the categories Best API Business Model and Best Decision Maker Documentation. We will highlight the criteria that we think define these categories and showcase how last year’s nominated devportals stood out.

This is the first article in a series that serves with background explanations and examples within the categories:

• we give you an overview of the different nomination categories and
• walk you through the evaluation criteria to see where your devportal excels.

Pronovix developed a 4-step information architecture method to help their clients identify all the individual pieces of content for their developer portal and to find out how these pieces are related.



Watch Mónika Alföldi-Zörgő's talk from API the Docs Chicago and learn about the methods!

The mission of DevPortal Awards has not changed: it aims at collecting knowledge and spreading it back to the API community. In line with this, in 2019 we introduce two new categories – Best Accessible Devportal, Best International & Localized Devportal – which are two topics that haven't been looked after so far.

We are looking forward to nominations in these new categories very much - let the community learn from your examples!
