What is a Content Management System (CMS)

A Content Management System (CMS) uses a combination of software and a database to manage and organize your website content. Content is added to the database and then displayed in a customized template. A CMS makes it very easy for non-technical users to edit and expand their website. Edits can be made in minutes from any browser by logging into your website as a user with specific editing privileges. The CMS (site) allows an editor or content provider to login and access a simple user interface to make edits and add new content including images, multi-media files and more.

A Content Management System separates structure, design and content. This makes it easier to make changes to different parts of the site. Changes to the look can easily be changed throughout the entire site. Content (data) can be searched and categorized and displayed in different ways. With a content management system, your site and its content are organized.

Some Benefits of a Content Management System are:

  • Easy to change design elements throughout,
  • Design is consistent,
  • Easy to edit and add content from any browser for non-technical users,
  • Configurable user access: Users can be assigned various access levels, permissions and logins,
  • Code is clean and compliant allowing for better optimized pages and improved search rankings.
