What is a Content Management System?

A content management system (CMS) is computer software used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion. A Web content management system is designed to simplify the publication of Web content to Web sites, in particular allowing content creators to submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files. ¹

A CMS is a tool that allows you to organize, categorize and structure information resources (documents, text, images, etc.) for storage, publishing and editing online. With a CMS you don’t need additional software or programming expertise to manage your website.

Some of the advantages of a CMS are:

• Easier to maintain
• Much better control over the content
• Makes it easier for more than one person to publish content
• Different levels of access
• Layout is separate from content
