First, let’s start with the name of the CMS. CMS is an acronym for Content Management System. A Content Management System is a piece of software, generally online makes it registered users to edit, update or create new content on their website.

A CMS is often designed to be used in the building of users who are generally untrained in HTML and other web standards.

So how do you determine whether your business would benefit from one? We’ll start by asking these four questions:

o Does the website in question have a large number of pages? The average website (not including blog content) consists of 10 pages. As the site grows, so does the ability to maintain it and its contents.

o are regular key to your business? For example, you work in an industry where the status of the latest news on important clients, statistics or products / services may need continuously or periodically.

o is a general lack of understanding and experience of your staff in HTML?

If your company can answer yes to any of the above questions, a content management system could save employees considerable time, and therefore the company money.

How does a CMS work? Typical content management system will work like this:

o First, the layout is designed for the website. This would normally signal and the tape is positioned at the top of the page. The navigation set at either the top or side, and set up that will always sit at the bottom. The main body will be left blank, as this is where all the written materials pose.

o Completed layout design converted into HTML to form a template, depending on the site this template can be used to create all the pages.

o It is at this level CMS support is integrated with the template and then tested.

o User accounts and access levels are produced for the staff who will be responsible for the content creation and editing. Training may be necessary to teach users how to add and edit text, and upload photos.

o After each page is created and stored in a database, allows you to edit or delete later.

There is a wide range of content management systems to choose from, some open source and cost nothing, others are customized to allow you to develop requirements from scratch. Large organizations often recovered CMS, as they are full of features and excellent after-sales support.

When choosing a CMS, first, to understand the exact requirements of the company and of course the development budget.
