CMS stands for Content Management Systems.

What are Content Management Systems?

Content Management Systems are online programs that are integrated into a website to give the user full control of their website.  There are literally hundreds of different Content Managements Systems in the marketplace.

A lot of web design agencies will be using one that they have created themselves, however there are a lot of open-source Content management Systems available and you can use a specialist like myself to create a bespoke one for you and your business.

Because of the vast choice of systems available how do you know which is the best, well in short you won’t know unless you have already used one.  I am a firm believer in open source Content Management Systems.  For example WordPress is used by over 100,000,000 websites world wide, now if that is not testament to a great Content Management System I don’t know what is.

CMS Functionality

The beauty about having a decent CMS system is that they have a wealth of functionality that controls your website and you get to control all of it.  Even better is that it is really easy to use, if 100,000,000 business owners around the world are using WordPress it must be easy.

Below I have listed some of the functionality that you can control:
