Content Management Systems Post

(CMS) Content Management System is a software designed to be a hub for teams to collaborate editing, publishing, and updating materials effeciently.
CMS’s are a beneficial tool anyone can use to create, design, and simplify the bridge from business to customer.

2: CMS is a software that allows users to create, manage, and publish digital content for websites and other digital channels. It’s also beneficial for developers to manage tasks and track key data with little to no scripting required on their end.
While doing research I noticed it’s a mixed bag of interpretations on whether CMS is solely used for website design or has other functions so I will leave my opinions that it’s uses can be extended to other platforms on the table.
3: CMS vs HTML, CMS has the ability as stated before to create websites without the use of scripts or coding knowledge this makes it extremely easy for anyone to pick up and design a website of their own while HTML is a fundamental system to port a website to any device with the authors ability to shrink, scale up, resize, to fit any device screen. The drawbacks is HTML requires some extensive knowledge on coding while CMS does not this more then likely draws more users to CMS website building over HTML for the ease of access over its competitor.
With the use of either one must take note of what they are looking for when designing their website and what function works best for them, while CMS is great for easy creation HTML may be better suited to make sure your website fits the audiences devices drawing more views.
With a friendly user interface and key tools to help design websites and background analytics more large scale business’s are making the switch to CMS services not just to meet their audiences but to help themselves standout whether thats on social media or web based pages the content transfers seamlessly and effortlessly across all devices.
The hugest tool to me would be the analytics tracker, this tool comes in handy to see what the most engaging portions are of your website whether this is a shop or other attention grabbing page this helps decide on the structure and orientation I would set for my website and how I grab the attention of my audience further in the future.
4: CMS is a great tool to have under anyones belt while I would agree the program could take away business from actual developers this makes setup effortless and easy while a developer could be stuck coding and scripting a website with minimal returns for orientation or presentation to an audience this leads to a dip in overall appearance and audience. Developing or CMS’ing a website is up to the creator but I’d choose a CMS built webpage over a scripted anyday with the tools ive seen are given at a click away to ease the workflow It’s no wonder other business’s choose to use a CMS based.

Internet and it’s vast history has always been a frequent topic in today whether that’s “Do videogames cause violence” or the recent “ban on Tiktok”.
I wanted to cover some frequent questions we ask or see when we discuss technology and it’s repercussions as we move forward,
Technology is anything that consists and operates with digital media through a screen on a small or large device IE: smart phone or personal computer.

As of November 2024, nearly 65% of internet traffic comes from the use of mobile traffic meaning that most of our daily usage of technology comes from our portable devices. So who runs this world wide internet service we all know and love so much? well you might find that no single entity owns the entirety of the internet instead stakeholders and governments all of which develop web standards and manages the domain names.

Tim Berners-Lee also known as “TimBL” is a proud computer scientist attributed with the invention of HTML and the World Wide Web, His inventions are the exact programs and sources we use today in our day to day lives and while they have changed over time they retain alot of their functions. Tim also founded the world wide web consortium (W3C) to ensure the web remains a royalty free program. If you dont understand what that means, it means that there had been potential for you to pay money to use a service such as the web. could you imagine paying some X amount of money to go to a library and find information you were looking for in this day and age?

Today we as humans have lots of tools at our disposal to stay in touch and one of the largest is “Blogs” these blogs allow us to share our opinions and statements with everyone and even recieve feedback in a neutral feed, blogs are useful for documenting and even sharing information with others on a day to day basis without bias and politics (yes even that photo of your dog ruffus who got into the trash).

Something else I’d like to cover is the use and background to “Responsive Websites”, these websites automatically adjust the viewing expeirence for the audience allowing them to surf the web and find what they are looking for across all devices from cellular to even personal computers. This optimization typically results in viewers not needing to find another webpage or screenshot certain information for personal use if they can just pull it up and share it.

My passion for technology has always led me to believe in starting my own youtube channel, I have the drive and passion to create and involve those around me to expeirence the same things I do. Youtube is one of those platforms where I could share the content I want to share in a semi filtered environment and meet people with similar interests through the content we share it would be an honor and pleasure to be among the few who make it on platforms such as those.
