Web content management system

[swatiraohnlu]

A WCMS is a software system used to control a dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents, images, and other forms of media).[2] A CMS facilitates document control, auditing, editing, and timeline management.

CMSs are designed with non-technical people in mind. Simplicity in design of the admin UI allows website content managers and other users to update content without much training in coding or technical aspects of system maintenance. CMSs provide the facility to control how content is published, when it is published, and who publishes it. Some WCMSs allow administrators to set up rules for workflow management, guiding content managers through a series of steps required for each of their tasks.

Some CMSs are free like Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress. Others may be affordable based on size subscriptions. Although subscriptions can be expensive, overall the cost of not having to hire full-time developers can lower the total costs. Plus software can be bought based on need for many CMSs.

Typically dependent on a particular database, which may be part of the package or available separately as in the case of open source versions, a content management system (CMS) may provide all the programs necessary for Web site development. It may include or accept plug-ins that provide banner advertising, shopping carts, blogs, wikis, newsletters, opinion polls, chat rooms and forums. Such systems may be able to publish not only to a Web site, but to a CD/DVD or print as well.
