What is a Content Management System?

A Content Management System (CMS) is a web-based application that lets site owners quickly and easily manage their own content without touching any code.

Dynamic, database-powered CMS's can be thought of as the "core" or "framework" of your website, serving as the backbone architecture that glues together a web page's text, images, URL path, menu links, and other publishing details. As a website grows, a CMS also provides an efficient development framework for low-cost future expansion.
