CMS

• Content management system (CMS): A computer application that allows publishing, editing and modifying content
• User can do all this without having any programming skills
  • Not necessary to know HTML, PHP or any other programming language
  • Instead, user clicks on icons and tabs such as ones below
  • These icons and tabs insert the code

• Content may or may not be in a website
• This article will deal with a CMS on a website
• The content management system may involve a central repository of documents, movies, phone numbers, pictures, scientific data, etc.
• Examples of CMSs include

• • WordPress,
  • Income Activator,
  • WIX,
  • Survey Monkey,
  • GoDaddy,
  • Weebly,
  • WildApricot and
  • Volusion

• My favorite two: WordPress and Income Activator
• I’m a webmaster and I use both of them lots every week
• I presently don’t use any of the other ones.

No Webmaster Required

• A CMS allows the content manager or author, who may not know Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to manage the creation, modification, and removal of content from a Web site without needing the expertise of a webmaster
• If website is highly complex, you may have a
  webmaster who uses the programming languages occasionally
• If
  website was created using a CMS, a manager without programming skills may
  step in and make changes
  • Handy when webmaster is busy with something
    else
• A CMS system indexes all data within website
• Individuals can
  then search for data using keywords which CMS system retrieves
