A content management system (CMS) is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion. This allows you to manage and add, edit and delete content on your web site.

Some of the examples of management would be:

• Shopping cart - eCommerce sites
• Photo Galleries
• Updates - Articles
• Blogs
• Uploading documents, pdf files
• Adding media, songs and videos
• Adding pages and content to your site
• Ability to manage keywords, descriptions and meta tags on a site.
• Manage a product gallery
• Manage online accounts
• Ability to approve ratings and postings before going on a site.
• And many more!

 Do I need a content management system?

Answer to that is what are your needs as a person or business on your website. I would say yes if you will have constant updating on the site, adding new articles, updating galleries or products on your site or the need to upload media on a regular basis.

What are the benefits of a content management system?

Benefits allow you as a web site owner to update and add or change content on a regular basis from any web browser anywhere in the world!

No software is needed and all you do is log into your admin area and make changes anytime you want 24 hours a day.

You can assign personnel to do updates to your website and leave the web master out of it or rely on their time to make changes for you.

Is content management expensive?

Depending on what is available now or if it has to be custom built.

In the long run you will save money by having a CMS built if you are going to make changes to your web site on a regular basis and not pay the minimum or hourly rates of a web company to do these things for you.
