class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A content management system (CMS) is a type of software which allows users to create, tweak, and publish content on their websites.<\/p><p>Content management systems provide an interface which you can use to make your own, self-hosted blog or website. In recent years, content management systems have become so simplified that anyone can use them without prior knowledge of coding, programming or web development.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Example-of-a-content-management-system.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Example-of-a-content-management-system.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Example-of-a-content-management-system-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Example-of-a-content-management-system-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Example-of-a-content-management-system-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Example-of-a-content-management-system-1536x992.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"image-description\">The simple interface of WordPress, a popular CMS option<\/p><p>The user-friendly interface of content management systems has made it easy and popular for people to build their own websites. Individuals, businesses, eCommerce stores, magazines &#8211; in fact, every type of website &#8211; can be built using a CMS.<\/p><p>They also make the job of publishing pages online really simple, as any user can upload content directly from their PC to the internet!<\/p><h2 id=\"what-does-a-content-management-system-do\" class=\"c-anchor\">What Does a Content Management System Do?<\/h2><p>A content management system is structured to take care of all the dirty work for you, so you can build a website without fussing over the technical details.<\/p><p>Hiring a web developer to build you a website from scratch can be quite pricey. A CMS is a great cost-effective alternative, allowing you to create the website yourself.<\/p><p>But a CMS will take a lot of the load off your back. Rather than <em>having to hire a developer<\/em> to create a database and a system for your content, functions, and images, a CMS will do that for you, at a fraction of the price. A CMS has its own database and infrastructure that will allow you to upload and edit content with ease.<\/p><p>In fact, the user-friendly interface displays your content in an easy-to-manage presentation layer. Each CMS offers a set of templates that you can use to organize your website. Most content management systems come with thousands of different templates and plugins which you can choose from to adjust the look and functions of your website.<\/p><p>Another thing that a content management system does is it allows multiple users to work on the same web content. Which leads us to\u2026<\/p><h2 id=\"what-is-the-purpose-of-a-content-management-system\" class=\"c-anchor\">What is the Purpose of a Content Management System?<\/h2><p>In addition to easily creating a website, the main purpose of a CMS is allowing multiple contributors to edit online content simultaneously. If you\u2019re creating a website for a business, a social network, a forum, or an online magazine, for instance, you\u2019ll probably have more people doing the work.<\/p><p>With a CMS, different users can edit and publish content from their computers. You\u2019ll be able to see what others are doing, which avoids duplicates and makes delegating work very efficient. Plus, the admin can adjust the permission level of the various contributors to different parts of the website.<\/p><h2 id=\"how-does-a-content-management-system-work\" class=\"c-anchor\">How Does a Content Management System Work?<\/h2><p>Rather than writing a static HTML file, uploading it to your server, and tinkering with a bunch of other technicalities, the CMS provides a simple interface.<\/p><p>But to get a better picture of how it works, let\u2019s look at WordPress, the most popular CMS <a href=\"https:\/\/w3techs.com\/\">which powers 34.8% of websites<\/a>.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sample-WordPress-interface.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1432\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sample-WordPress-interface.jpg 1432w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sample-WordPress-interface-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sample-WordPress-interface-1024x716.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Sample-WordPress-interface-768x537.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1432px) 100vw, 1432px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"image-description\">An example of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\">WordPress<\/a> interface<\/p><p>As you can see, the bar on the left allows for easy navigation so you can edit the content, look, and function on your website. You can add and modify media, text, and plugins.<\/p><p>For instance, writing text is as simple as using any type of Word Document, be it Microsoft Word or GoogleDocs. You just select the \u201cPages\u201d tab and click on \u201cText Editor\u201d under \u201cBasic Modules.\u201d<\/p><p>You can copy a text to the box, or write it directly in the editor. As soon as your text is done and ready to be uploaded, click on \u201cPublish Changes\u201d and watch your text go online!<\/p><p>Uploading media is just as easy. Simply click on the \u201cMedia\u201d tab, and drag and drop any file you like. Alternatively, you can click on the \u201cSelect Files\u201d button and browse your media library to find the files you want to add.<\/p><p>As you can see from the image, you can also add plugins. Plugins adjust the functions of your website. You can use them for anything, like building an eCommerce store, adding an online chat room, boosting performance, or improving your SEO. Most content management systems offer thousands of free and premium plugins.

Today, however, content management systems can be used to make any type of website, since they are highly customizable.<\/p><p>As CMSs offer a lot of flexibility in terms of content management, editing, and multiple contributors, they are used to build everything from blogs to eCommerce stores. Simple use of CMSs can lead to creating blogs, news and magazine sites, tutorial sites, entertainment sites, and so on. For instance, magazines such as <em>Variety<\/em> and <em>Rolling Stone <\/em>use WordPress. Some institutions, such as the White House or the City University of New York also use a CMS (WordPress again) to create and run their websites.<\/p><p>With a bit more work and some useful tools in your arsenal (read: plugins), you can also create more complex websites using a CMS. This includes eCommerce stores, forums, and social network-type platforms.<\/p><h2 id=\"how-do-i-choose-a-cms\" class=\"c-anchor\">How do I Choose a CMS?<\/h2><p>When choosing the best CMS for your website, here are a few important features you should look out for:<\/p><h3>Highly Customizable Content<\/h3><p>To give you a sense of ownership over your website, as well as allow you to achieve your vision, a CMS should offer great customizability. High customizability means a lot of themes, plugins, and flexible content editing features! In this way, you can easily control the look and functionality of the pages.<\/p><h3>User-Friendliness<\/h3><p>You want to make sure that your CMS is easy to use, especially if you\u2019re not a web developer. Being able to quickly and easily publish new content will keep you motivated and happy with your site!<\/p><h3>Flexible Management Options<\/h3><p>You want to find a CMS that offers structured taxonomy, especially if your website has multiple contributors. This will help you divide up the work based on content!<\/p><h3>Security<\/h3><p>Security risks can be caused by unsafe passwords, shady plugins, and stubborn hackers. If you\u2019re dealing with sensitive content, you want to make sure that your CMS provides excellent security.<\/p><h3>Help &amp; Support<\/h3><p>No matter how computer-savvy you are, there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll face an issue, or have a question about your CMS at some point.
