Usually the software provides tools where users with little or no knowledge of Programming Language s and Markup Language s can create and manage content with relative ease of use. Most systems use a Database to store content, and a presentation layer displays the content to regular website visitors based on a set of Template s. Administration and content creation is typically done through the web application, but some CMS may be modified in other ways. A Content Management System (CMS) differs from website builders like Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver . A CMS allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website with little or no training. Web CMS typically require an experienced coder to set-up and add features, but it is primarily a website ''maintenance'' tool for non-technical administrators. WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CAPABILITIES A web content management system is a software system used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of web material (HTML documents and their associated images). A CMS facilitates document control, auditing, editing, and timeline management. A Web CMS provides the following key features: ;Automated templates: Create standard visual templates that can be automatically applied to new and existing content, creating one central place to change that look across a group of content on a site. ;Easily editable content: Once your content is separate from the visual presentation of your site, it usually becomes much easier and quicker to edit and manipulate. Most CMS software include WYSIWYG editing tools allowing non-technical individuals to create and edit content. ;Scalable feature sets: Most CMS have plug-ins or modules that can be easily installed to extend an existing site's functionality. ;Web standards upgrades: Active CMS solutions usually receive regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards. ;Workflow management: Workflow is the process of creating cycles of sequential and parallel tasks that must be accomplished in the CMS. For example, a content creator submits a story but it's not published on the Website until the copy editor cleans it up, and the editor-in-chief approves it. ;Document management: CMS solutions may provide a means of managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, through revisions, publication, archive, and document destruction.
