We want to explain to you what a Content Management System (CMS) does and help you decide whether you need one or not. The best way to explain a CMS is to show you what it looks like. This is an image of a CMS, it shows how the content sits on the web site.

You can see that the CMS handles text, documents and images. It allows non expert users to add new content to the web site without having to understand programming languages. The CMS dramatically reduces the cost of keeping your web site up to date. There are many options to choose from so you have to think carefully about what you really need.

More information about Content Management Systems can be found in these guidelines as a pdf download.
