What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

A web application designed to make it easy for non-technical users to create, edit, and manage a website. Helps users with content editing and more “behind-the-scenes” work like making content searchable and indexable, automatically generating navigation elements, keeping track of users and permissions, and more. This is a critical aspect of the digital ecosystem, offering numerous examples and case studies that illustrate its application across different industries and scenarios.

Example

For example, WordPress is one of the most popular CMSs, widely used for creating websites, blogs, and online stores. With WordPress, users can easily create and publish new posts or pages, upload images and multimedia content, manage comments, and customize the appearance and functionality of their websites using themes and plugins. The intuitive interface and user-friendly features of WordPress make it accessible to users of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced web developers.
