With people and business trying to expand their company it had been very important that you make a well designed website to help your business grow and reach potential customers. Being able to use a content management system can be a very powerful to to help layout and design your website but first, what is a content management system?
Content management system (or CMS) is a application allows you to manage your content, allows multiple people to collaborate, edit, and create. It helps you easily make a website with very little knowledge on where to start. You can also use a CMS for a mobile device. With this easily accessible way to build your own website it’s no surprise that most websites use a CMS but there is also another way to make a website without using a CMS.

Coding your website by hand is also another method that you can do to build your own website. The main problem with this is that you have to manually code it yourself which can take some time to do for someone who doesn’t know what there doing. This makes people want to find an alternative way to make there website that’s easier like WordPress but there are still some benefits from coding by hand. With being able to code by hand it allows you for more possibilities on how you want your website to look exactly like you want it to be than using a CMS limited designs.

With having more of a presence online now a days I believe that CMS will not replace a web developer because there are still very valuable aspects of being a web developer that using a CMS doesn’t offer. A CMS should be used as a tool to get an idea of what you want but it shouldn’t replace the job of a web developer.
