CMS
Definition
A content management system that lets non-developers edit website content.
In Plain English
A CMS is like a word processor for your website. You can edit content without knowing how to code.
Real-World Example
With WordPress or Contentful, your team can update blog posts, images, and text without calling a developer.
Why It Matters for Your Work
A good CMS saves money and time by letting your team manage routine content updates independently.
Common Mistake
Choosing a CMS based on popularity alone. The right CMS depends on your specific needs, team skills, and budget.
