Content Management System (CMS)

A content management system, often abbreviated as CMS, is software that helps users create, manage, and modify content on a website without the need for specialized technical knowledge.

How Does a Content Management System Work?

A CMS is an application that is used to manage content and publish it as well, allowing multiple users to contribute, create, edit, and publish without having to involve a developer.

It also provides version management and authoring workflow to keep large, global sites consistent. 

If you further break down a content management system, there are two main parts that help create your website.

  • The content management application (CMA) allows marketers, merchandisers, and other content creators to work with digital content directly, without needing to involve the IT department.
  •  The content delivery application (CDA) acts as the back-end portion of the website, taking the content that you enter into the templates and turning it into a working website that visitors from around the world can access.

Web content management (WCM) is more or less another name for CMS, because we are an industry that loves acronyms.

How to Build a Website with a Content Management System

Want to build your own website with a content management system? If so, the general process looks something like this:

Purchase web hosting and a domain name
Install your content management system of choice on your web server
Configure the content management system to dictate how your site looks and functions
Start writing content using the content management system’s interface
It’s actually surprisingly simple. And hosts like Kinsta can even help install the content management system for you (WordPress, in this case), so you can jump straight into building your site without any technical setup.
