Content management systems like MonkCMS have to balance a fine line between offering enough fields for the majority of sites without becoming everything to everybody (which never ends well). We like to think MonkCMS has done this well, but there are inevitably sites that need fields outside of the scope MonkCMS has defined. Custom Fields solves this problem by allowing sites to add their own fields for capturing values to be displayed on their site.
