What is a Content Management System in Web Design?

border-icon

A Content Management System is a software application that is integrated into your website design. It allows multiple users to create, manage and publish digital content onto your website. 

 

A CMS is hugely beneficial for your website. This is because it simplifies the process of creating and updating content such as blog posts, files and products within a user-friendly interface for users with little or no technical knowledge to manage website content. Therefore, no matter how much or how little you know, you can keep your website fresh and up-to-date with exciting content. 

What does a CMS include?

 

Content Management Systems also include an extensive range of features. For example, creating webpages and editing existing content. You can also organise content into categories, manage user permissions, apply templates and manage media files such as images and videos. Our in-house web team at Rapid Agency can also add extra features such as search engine optimisation tools, e-commerce functionality and social media integration.

In addition, Content Management Systems can be used to create an extensive range of websites, from small blogs to larger corporate websites. This is not just a tool for the corporate giants. 

Types of websites with Content Management Systems

 

Blog Websites

A CMS is a great tool to use for blog websites or for blog pages on a larger website. You can create simple blogs with additional features such as commenting, categorising and tagging options. 

 

Business Websites

You can use a Content Management System to create a business website. Here, you will showcase a range of products and services, alongside company news and events. Integrating a CMS into your Business Website is also beneficial for managing job listings and applications. 

 

E-Commerce Websites

A Content Management System can also be used to create an online store on platforms such as Shopify. Users will then be able to seamlessly add and manage products, process orders and handle payments. 

 

Social Networking Websites

On these websites, a CMS is a useful tool for creating and managing profiles. As well as this, you can connect with friends and share content. 

 

Educational Websites

These unique websites often require Content Management Systems for a range of features. This includes creating courses, managing accounts and delivering online learning materials. 

 

Non-Profit Websites

A Content Management System is useful for these websites for accepting and organising donations. They will also use a CMS to share useful information and manage volunteers. 

 

There really is no doubt that Content Management Systems are versatile tools that can be used to create almost any type of website. The platform you choose, however, will differ depending on your website’s needs, the users’ technical knowledge and budget.
