What is a CMS?
CMS is the acronym for Content Management System. It is a software application used to create, manage, and modify digital content.
It is used by organizations, businesses, and individuals to manage their websites, blogs, and other digital content such as images, videos, and documents.
With a CMS, users can easily create and manage content without the need for programming skills or technical knowledge. It provides an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to create and manage website content.
Content can be edited and changed with just a few clicks. The CMS also offers features such as
- Version control
- Search engine optimization
- User permissions
The CMS provides a framework for the content that is created and managed. This includes templates and functional extensions that can be used to customize the appearance as well as the functionality of the website.
The CMS also allows users to create a custom workflow for the content they create. This includes setting up user roles, permissions and roles based on the content to be managed.
It is an indispensable tool for any organization or company that needs to create as well as manage content and user data.
