(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.
