What is a content management system?

A content management system, often abbreviated as CMS, allows the site owner to take control of their website rather than paying designers and developers to maintain and update it for them. Content management systems can often be confused with content editors. Content editors only allow you to change/update page content while content management systems allow you to manage more advanced features such as add pages, send out emails, manage databases, upload images and documents and add scrolling text, to name but a few. Your web design is integrated with the content management system giving you the flexibility to add different designs to different sections of the website. You can even change the design of the website at any time without having to rebuild the entire site.

What are the benefits of a CMS?

  • You can easily amend the content within your website yourself
  • Easily add properties, job vacancies, products and service details.
  • Reduce you day to day costs – you don’t have to pay a web developer
  • You don’t have to wait for someone else to make changes to your content
  • Make as many changes as you want whenever you want – no restrictions
  • All changes take immediate effect
