Content Management System (CMS)—software that lets non-technical users manage website content.
How CMS works
A website has two parts:
Frontend—what users see.
Backend—databases and functionality, built with programming languages.
BUT
A CMS eliminates coding for tasks like uploading articles or rearranging images. It includes:
- Visual content editor
- Display templates
- Auto-updates
- Document workflow
- Expandability (plugins/modules)
- Content previews
In short, a CMS simplifies site management—but it’s a tool, not magic.
