Website Content Management Systems (CMS) allow internal users/administrators to
provide new website content in the form of articles. The articles are typically
entered as plain text or through a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWG) editor,
thus not requiring the internal users have website coding skills. Outside of plain
text content, these systems allow for placement of multimedia, image or other web
content types.
CMS then uses rules to style the article, separating the display from the content,
which has a number of advantages when trying to maintain pages with a consistent
"look and feel". The system then adds the articles to a larger collection
for publishing.
The systems also often include some sort of concept of the workflow for the internal
users, which defines how the new content is to be routed around the system.
Typical Content Management Features:
- Online authoring / change approval
- WYSIWYG editing
- Workflow including a review and publishing process
- Session and user management
- Indexing and Searching
- Object Storage
- Templating
- Image and URL management
