What Is A Content Management System, And Why?
Most good Content Management Systems work by organizing the text, images and files for your site within a database.
Changes to your Website can be made through a special database interface. Each page of your Website is then programmed to link to the CMS
to retrieve the appropriate content for that page. Every time a page is visited it checks the database for its content, so any updates
that are made to the CMS are immediately visible on your Website.
No special software is required for visitors to view a content managed Website. When the Web server sends your
Web pages to the visitor, they are sent as plain HTML so it looks and works just like a

Should you wish to have a Website that you can make changes to yourself, a good CMS does not require you to install any
special software on your computer, and you will not need to learn HTML or other coding languages. Web Divisions can create a Custom CMS to
