What is content management system




A content management system, often abbreviated as CMS, is software that helps users create, manage, and modify content on a website without the need for specialized technical knowledge.

In simpler language, a content management system is a tool that helps you build a website without needing to write all the code from scratch (or even know how to code at all).

Instead of building your own system for creating web pages, storing images, and other functions, the content management system handles all that basic infrastructure stuff for you so that you can focus on more forward-facing parts of your website.

How CMS works?

Without a CMS, you would have to use different programming languages to create a website. You would also need to upload your content manually to your server. A modern website consists of two main parts: the front-end and back-end. The front-end is the part your visitors see in the browser: blog posts, images, videos, About and Contact pages, newsletter forms, etc. The textual part is displayed with a standard markup language called HTML, while the design is added with CSS and JavaScript.

If you use a CMS, there’s no need to write either front-end or back-end code. It’s a user-friendly application that runs in your web browser. A content management system allows you to use a content editor to create posts, pages, web shops, and push all your content online. You can also configure your settings with the help of drop-down menus, checkboxes, and other controls. 


What Makes up a Content Management System?

On a more technical level, a content management system is made up of two core parts:

A content management application (CMA) – this is the part that allows you to actually add and manage content on your site (like you saw above).
A content delivery application (CDA) – this is the backend, behind-the-scenes process that takes the content you input in the CMA, stores it properly, and makes it visible to your visitors.

Types of Content management system:

There are 2 types of CMS

1.open source
2.properiatery


1.open source CMS:

  • You can download the software with no cost.
  • NO license required,no upgrade fees
  • However you need to pay some amount for
  • customisation to extend the software
  • compatible plugins,templates and add-ons

Example of most widely used open source CMS

  • Wordpress
  • Joomla
  • Drupal
  • Magento(e-commerce)
  • Prestashop(e-commerce)
You can install and manage open source CMS on a web server.

2.Proprietary CMS:

Proprietary or commercial CMS software is built and managed by a single company. Using such CMS generally involves:

  • buying a licence fee to use the software
  • paying monthly or annual charges for updates or support

You may also need to pay additional costs for customisation and upgrades, as well as for training and ongoing technical or user support.

Examples of popular CMS solutions include:

  • Kentico
  • Microsoft SharePoint
  • IBM Enterprise Content Management
  • Pulse CMS
  • Sitecore
  • Shopify

You can usually customise proprietary CMS with built-in functionalities, although this may come at additional cost.

Final giveaway

Wordpress is the best  content management system because it holds over 35.2% market share more over the other cms software.
