First of all, what is a Content Management System? A Content Management System, or CMS for short, is an application designed to facilitate the creation and management of content. Whether or not you may need a CMS solution depends on the size of your website, the amount of traffic you receive, your skills as a web master, the number of users who will be adding content to the website, and many other factors. The content of a large website can be very difficult and tedious to maintain if a content management system is not used. Most CMS solutions will store the content in a database in an organized fashion. The administration interface of the CMS should provide an easy way to manage the content. On the other hand, a CMS solution for a small website may be overkill. A website with a small number of pages is easy to maintain, but may need a content management system solution as it grows. A content management system can be an easy solution for a webmaster who lacks the necessary skill set to create their own website. Most CMS solutions contain a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. The editor allows for the creation of website content without HTML or other website specific knowledge. Makingspaces Design use a variety of CMS solutions depending on the job at hand. For a majority of our websites, we use Joomla CMS, as it is easy to use, flexible and well supported.
