What is a CMS Website?

A Content Management System (CMS) is basically a form of software that resides on a web server and uses a database to store a large portion of the content that makes up a website. To update the content you login to an administrator area via a web browser. This make it great for website owners as you do not need to learn complicated programming languages to update your website.

Two well know CMS websites are Joomla and Word Press. Usually your web hosting company can install these for you although customising some things can be difficult - it behaves like a template where you really can only change the content.

Both Joomla and Word Press have active communities for trouble shooting and support with a large range of plug-ins for extra functionality.
