What is a content management system?
A content management system, or CMS, is a web-based software platform that allows site owners to create, update, and remove HTML content on their website on a day-to-day basis.
Content management systems are widely used by serious webmasters, particularly in this flourishing age of Web 2.0. They give site owners the ability to access and manage all of their website content at their leisure- whether that means fixing a typo or a complete site overhaul.
Why do I need a CMS?
Content management systems are invaluable tools in the world of Web 2.0. Not only do content management systems serve as a digital house for your website's content- including text, images, files, and submission forms- they give you the ability to access and manage complex elements of your site with ease.
What kind of content can I manage with a CMS?
When you integrate a good CMS, you should be able to log in 24/7 from any location with an Internet connection and manage the following kinds of content (if applicable to your site):
- Pages
- Page links and meta tags
- All on-page body text
