CMS - Basics

Most sites are now being published, edited and maintained by means of what is called a content management system. Content management system allows the owner to publish and update text and images to the persons website all without knowing anything about coding.

There are two basic ways to operate CMS: (1) installed tolls on a computer, and (2)online software. The most common approach is the method of installing the needed tools on the website owners computer. However, since the internet has evolved into high speed connections, people now prefer the more convenient online based CMS. Online CMS is convenient because one can edit ones website from any computer with Internet access. It may be useful for example if one is traveling without one's personal computer, instead one could use computers at internet cafes or hotels to update a site from.
