WHAT IS A WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

A web content management system is a software system that offers a complexity of web building tools, and administration tool to allow multiple users ease in building, using, collaborating, and maintaining a website.
Most systems use a database to store information and use server side caching for optimum performance.
Typically a web developer will initially build the site, whereas the maintenance of the site can be done by the client.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING A WCMS?

• They are easy to use for maintaining your site.
• They are open source meaning they are free to use from the Internet.
• Once a layout is established, you can make many similar themed pages without much coding.
• They have drag and drop functions to create your page.
• Udate your content in the admin without a lot of training.
• Work-flow management capabilities.
  

WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF USING A WCMS?

• Some may license updates and upgrades for use.
• Storage volume of files may be large in HTML-based systems. Many files invite errors.

  reference information, they cause instability for static pages and other web tools.
