Content Management Systems

Content management systems are tools for managing information on your website. They offer an interface to most of the information on your web pages. Page editors are similar to Microsoft Word so the person responsible for the website content does not need to know HTML coding, although some general knowledge would be highly beneficial.

The more popular content management systems are those made available through open source. They are maintained by a world wide association of awesome programmers and designers. The most used open source applications for business websites are Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal.

The benefits of having your website built on an open source content management system are tremendous. Content management systems allow users to easily add and edit content on websites. There are also a vast array of free and low cost applications made available by programmers world wide.

This enables website owners to upgrade their websites with features that are much lower in cost than those available through private companies or by commission.

Most content management systems include user interfaces that enable website owners to perform many tasks that would normally require knowledge of coding or separate applications.

For instance a content management system user can easily upload images and place them onto website pages by simply clicking on a button where as someone with an HTML website will have to use an FTP program to upload images and then hand code the tags to display the images on the page.
