A content management system also known as CMS is an application that is used to manage content, allowing multiple contributors to create, edit and publish. Content in a CMS is typically stored in a database and displayed in a presentation layer based on a set of templates like a website. Most websites use a content management system, but you could make one without a CMS, writing directly in a programming language like HTML and CSS.

CMS helps users understand, maintain, and manage content stored within a database in a web server with proper security to support the site with protocols and can be assembled using flexible programming and markup languages such as HTML and PHP ( Hypertext Preprocessor ).

I would say that currently CMS is the way to go when making a website. It makes the programming easier than HTML and gives you so many more benefits than HTML does. Just listing a few pros and cons of HTML first the PROS, HTML is more secure than CMS so there is less of a chance of you being hacked, Some CMS pages can be very code heavy so it could cause them to open slower, you can use other coding language to incorporate into your website. Some CONS are It takes longer to code the website using HTML, older versions of HTML can make updating the code a little harder to do if need be. Some PROS of CMS are, The ability to control design using CSS files is a great functionality, You can have 100% control over your URL, title, meta tags as well as every aspect of your content on a page. Some CONS are,  If you really want a good looking website, you will need some HTML knowledge so you would need HTML in the end anyways, You might have to be a bit technical to be able to implement a CMS. You might also need to do some research or get some outside help.

No I wouldn’t say that CMS is taking away jobs from web developers I would say that it is making it easier for them in a sense. That is if they use it then it could benefit them and they wouldn’t have to spend as much time making a website and can make more money by making more websites faster and getting clients more often. But I could see how it is taking away from the authentic feel of making websites for some developers who love the HTML or CSS coding and do it just for that.

If you asked me who would use the World Wide Web more often between mobile devices and desktops/computers I would be honest and say that I did not know or my guess would be mobile but according to techjury they say that “mobile devices accounted for 49.78% of all web visits, while desktops made up the remaining 50.22%.” which is a really close comparison a lot closer than I would have thought. They do also expect the mobiles percentage to go up by 5% by next year making mobile take the lead for usage.

Sometimes used for sharing your opinion on a certain subject and receiving feedback and views from both groups of the discussion. While it can also be used for attracting visitors onto a website and promoting it through a blog. A responsive Website design is a website that is useable within all platforms it may be viewed on. No matter the screen you are viewing it on it should fit onto it. they are necessary because it gives you more of a chance or opportunity to expand through the web if it is accessible through all of the screen sizes and platform available. SEO stands for search engine optimization, which is the process of improving a website or a web page so it increases its visibility and relevance in search engines like Google or Bing.
