Content Management System (CMS)
A CMS allows non-technical users to easily add, edit, and delete web pages using any web browser.
Many of our website clients want the ability to easily add, edit, update, and delete text, images, and pages on their website. A Content Management System (CMS) provides a way for these clients to easily achieve these goals.
A website content management system (CMS) is a computer system used to manage and control a large or small, dynamic collection of web material (HTML documents and their associated images). A CMS facilitates document control, auditing, editing, and management. The beauty of a CMS is that it does not require the CMS user to be an HTML expert. Furthermore, it allows the CMS user to easily update web pages using a simple web browser interface.
Key Features of a Content Management System
A Web CMS provides the following key features:
- Automated templates
- Create standard visual templates that can be automatically applied to new and existing content, creating one central place to change that look across a group of content on a site.
- Easily editable content
- Once your content is separate from the visual presentation of your site, it usually becomes much easier and quicker to edit and manipulate. Most CMS software include WYSIWYG editing tools allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content.
- Numerous Add-On and Plug-Ins to Add MORE Features
- Most CMS have plug-ins or modules that can be easily installed to extend an existing site's functionality. For example, you can add newsletters, event calendars, ecommerce shopping carts, photo galleries, and more.
- Web standards upgrades
- Active CMS solutions usually receive regular updates that include new features and keep the system up to current web standards.
- Workflow management
- Workflow is the process of creating cycles of sequential and parallel tasks that must be accomplished in the CMS. For example, a content creator can submit a story, but the story is not published on the website until the copy editor cleans it up, and the editor-in-chief approves it.
- Document management
- CMS solutions may provide a means of managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, through revisions, publication, and document archiving.
- Shopping Cart / Ecommerce
- Some CMS software also includes a built-in shopping cart. For example, both Joomla and Edit-X have shopping carts that can be easily integrated with the CMS.
