What is a Content Management System?

Content Management Systems, otherwise known as CMS websites are designed to give clients the ability to update content on their website themselves without having to go back through a web design company.

There are many different types of content management systems. Some are free open source community projects and some are distributed via a paid license. The big three free open source content management systems are WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. Popular ones that carry a paid license include Expression Engine, Ektron and Kentico. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of cms platforms available to choose from, but WordPress has surfaced as the most popular CMS in the world.

If you only need to edit a couple of simple spots of your website, you might even be able to get away with a basic content editor available through many commercial hosting platforms. These are limited in features, but might work very well if you don’t need many features.
