Why You Need a Content Management System (CMS) for Your Website

One of the most important decisions you make when building a website is which technologies you’ll use to power it. Because of the complexity of this decision, you usually don’t get second chances– it’s best to get it right from the start.

When the Internet began, most websites were comprised of a series of static (unchanging) display files. Multiple web pages were linked together to form a complete website, but this became difficult to manage and scale. Making changes often required you to get your hands wet with code — not the dream of any organization.

Alas, technology has progressed and there are nearly unlimited opportunities for how a website can look, feel, and function — most of which cost little or nothing to implement. Instead of modifying terse HTML code to make a simple change, today’s websites can be easily updated in seconds from anywhere in the world. Using a content management system (CMS), you can make changes form a familiar WYSIWYG editor (ala Microsoft Word) while never touching a single line of code. These tools make running and maintaining websites easier, faster, and more reliable than ever before.

Content management systems (CMS) like Drupal, Joomla, TypePad, and WordPress have become increasingly more common amongst web developers and for good reason. Employees and developers can collaborate to make changes without fear of causing a catastrophe. Your IT department doesn’t need to work overtime to churn out changes before the press release. And, most importantly, you can sleep at night knowing that your website is up-and-running 24/7/365.

If you or your business uses a CMS, what are your thoughts? Has it made life easier and increased your productivity?
