BoftIndia: Content Management System (CMS) is a program used to create a framework
for the content of a Web site. With most CMS, the framework can
be customized with a “skin” that defines the look &
feel. This approach is opposite to defining the look & feel
first then coding the functionality second. Whereas the majority
of cost of a website is in the functionality, the CMS approach is
often significantly more cost effective.
Web CMS is not an IT tool, a Marketing tool or a corporate communications
tool but a business tool, which benefits the entire organization. No one knows your business better than you do, and no one knows
what you want to say, or how you want things to look, more than
you. A CMS gives you direct control over the content on your web
site. Sites that change and update their content on a regular basis
not only give your business the appearance of being alive and
more active, but search engines give higher emphasis on new and
fresh content. Once you have a content management system set up, you're much
more likely to add more content to your site because it's now
so much easier.The result is a much more robust site with more
pages than you had before. Each of these new pages is likely to
be cataloged by the search engines resulting in higher rankings
as well as more opportunities to draw more traffic to your site. Many content management systems store your information in a database
system where access control mechanisms can more easily restrict
access to your content. Done correctly, the information is only
accessible via the CMS thereby providing better protection for
your site's content from many common and standard web site attacks.
