WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WCMS)
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.
- Because the URLs of many CMSs are dynamically-generated with
internal parameters and
reference information, they cause instability for static pages and other web tools.
Search Engines, cannot always rely on them.
