More and more people, companies, businesses, etc. are using content management systems and when researching why, this became quite clear. But first, what is a content management system (CMS)? A content management system is a system used to manage the content of a web site. CMS is used for people that do not have a lot of knowledge on graphic design or web design. With this achievability of creating and editing web content easily and in many locations a wide variety of possibilities open up for the user. More and more websites especially large websites are using CMS compared to graphically designed websites. There are multiple reasons for this, but the main one is that CMS allow easy edibility in different locations, and it allows websites to be altered with little or no problems. Another great thing about CMS is that some of these systems are absolutely free. With this feature people are able to save money while being able to convey what their website is about to their web audiences easily and readily. Another reason is that CMS are very user friendly. With the accessibility to find out how to edit your websites content by using tutorials and utilizing different forums, making a website look professionally done without expertise in web design is quite easy. Also, many CMS have a huge community that develops new attributes that can be accessed by anyone. Some of these cost money but most do not. Also, there are many different types of CMS and depending on what is going to be on your website and how it is going to be used choosing the right CMS is important. Sometimes choosing a CMS is not the best decision at all, it is strictly up to the content in which the author wants its information to be displayed. Most large sites are using CMS because these sites are constantly adding and removing items that are on their websites and these systems allow them to do this at a fast rate. Also, feedback is something that many companies want because it allows them to see what is wrong with their websites and what areas could be better. With a community as large as what CMS have, this can easily be realized and utilized. Because CMS are easy to use many people are using them and will continue to use them.
Here are some of the sites I used to give me some ideas of how CMS are used and who uses them.
