What is CMS?

A Content Management System (CMS) is software that empowers users across an organization to create and publish content in an organized and timely fashion. A CMS makes content management easy by allowing non technical, front-end content providers to create, edit, publish and maintain pages, sections or entire sites, depending on the needs and size of the organization. Content management systems keep design and content functionality separate, which facilitates easy changes to the design of your web site.
