A CMS or content management system allows non-tech people to manage, edit, upload or create content for the websites. Basically, one can build a website and modify it without writing a single line of code.
CMS is divided into two parts:
- CMA or content management application helps you to upload posts, photos, etc.
- CDA or content delivery application helps you to actually build a website (create pages, architecture, design, etc.)
CMS can help you build any type of website, from easy-to-create blogs to eCommerce stores and social networks. It allows many team members to work on the back-end (CDA part), the time of delivery and costs of development are much lower, and modern systems allow many easy and useful integrations.
In order to create a website with CMS, you have to purchase a domain and hosting, install a CMS, and choose from themes or templates the look, feel, and functionality of your website.
The most popular content management systems are Drumal, WordPress, and SquareSpace. They offer many themes and a variety of customization tools.
