What is a Content Management System?
A content management system (CMS) is the software that lets you create, edit, and manage content on your website without needing specialized technical skills.
Do I need a content management system (CMS) for my website?
Anyone who needs to frequently update blogs, alerts, photos, and services regularly. In 2020 that meant Covid-19 updates like business hours, appointment scheduling, and health protocols. Also alerts like making sure customers knew you were open or that they may experience a delay. Keeping your website up-to-date was never more critical.
Depending on the content management system you use this means you can do it yourself or may need to delegate the job of keeping the website content up-to-date to someone else due to complexity.
What are CMS platforms?
A CMS allows you to log in to your own website to access the tools for editing your page text, images, videos, and more. Below are examples of pages that are typically edited using content management tools.
- Slideshows
- Blog posts & news
