Just what is a content management system, anyway?
A content management system, or CMS, is a web application designed to make it easy for non-technical users to add, edit and, well, manage a website.
Not only do content management systems help website users with content editing, they also take care of a lot of “behind the scenes” work such as:
Automatically generate navigation elements
Making content searchable and indexable
Keeping track of users, their permissions and security settings
And much, much more.
