What is a Content Management System (CMS)
A Content Management System (CMS) is an application through which you can easily create and manage dynamic web content. A CMS separates the different parts of a website (content, design, functionality) and thus allows for easier website management.
When using a CMS application, you can easily divide the responsibilities of managing different parts of your website to different people. For example, non-technical people can be responsible for the site’s content, while more technical people can work on the site’s design and functionality.
Most CMS applications have built-in tools which will take care of most tasks for you. This way changing your site’s design or adding a blog, for example, can be done in a matter of minutes. And the best of all, managing a CMS can be done with little or no technical skills – it is that simple to use!
