Content Management Systems

What is a Content Management System? And why would you need one?

A content management system, or CMS, is a product that allows you to directly control site content without the use of HTML or any other coding. Through content management systems you can create, edit, manage, search and publish online content.  From site navigation, to images, to downloadable files to video -- you can manage it all with no programming knowledge.
