A content management system manages the creation and modification of digital content. It typically supports multiple users in a collaborative environment. CMS features vary widely.
3. What is a CMS?
● Content Management System (CMS)
○ A content management system is an application that allows users to create,
manage, edit and publish content.
○ Content is typically stored in a database and displayed in a presentation layer
based on a set of templates.
○ Main features include:
■ Content creation
■ Content storage
■ Workflow management
■ Publishing
4. Benefits of a CMS
● An advantage of a CMS is how collaborative it is. Multiple users can log on and
contribute, schedule or edit content to be published. CMS can be accessed from
anywhere by any number of users.
● Another advantage is that it allows non-technical people to easily create and
manage their own web content. For example, users can enter text and upload
images without needing to know any HTML or CSS.
● CMS reduces a company’s reliance on front-end engineers to make changes to the
website, allowing them to push out changes faster and more efficiently.
5. What is a Portal?
● A web portal is a specially designed website that brings information together.
● Information is collected from emails, online forums, search engines and other
sources.
● Information can be placed in a certain area on the website but the user usually
gets to decide where everything goes in the end.
