Content management systems are systems that allow users to mange and create their content on a website. It allows people to focus on how their website wants to look over stressing to see if they coded everything right. What’s so different about CMS is that it allows people to do all of this without having to code anything, so it’s easy for people who don’t know how to code at all. It’s not just for websites it can mange documents as well. CMS can be things like blogs and things like that. It allows users to easily put in text posts and images and videos without having to go into the website script.
CMS may be easiest for most users to use, but it’s beneficial if you’re going into web design as a perfection to know a little bit of HTML. HTML is a basic coding language that’s used in most websites. It allows developers to up website speed and HTML is supported by all browsers. CMS is important for users who want to make a website quickly. It’s useful for users who want a lot of website pages, or want to change their website often. By using CMS you don’t have to re-code everything when you want to make changes to your website. HTML is ideal for websites with only a couple of pages. If you want to plan a huge website HTML is probably not the easiest choice, you have to build everything from scratch and it takes time away from designing, and making your site look appealing to other users. The current practice for making a website is using CMS because like I said before you’re allowed to focus on how appealing the website looks. CMS is good for looks and if you want to keep the coding stagnant, if you wish to make changes to the coding that’s more difficult and HTML would be preferred.
CMS has allowed companies to make a website without having to worry about coders and developers. I think websites are trying to use CMS to try and take away jobs from developers so they won’t have to pay more people. I think companies will soon figure out though that they’ll need developers still. CMS is useful for small things but big companies can’t make huge changes to the coding. Also if the code is inconsistent on a CMS you’ll need developers to fix that, and that’s only if the CMS allows it. So overall right now yes I think it’s taking away jobs, but soon developers will be added back on after a company figures out that there are downsides to CMS programs.
