What is a CMS?

This post was last updated by José of onez on Sunday, 20 April 2025.

A Content Management System (CMS) is a tool that helps people build and manage websites without needing to know how to code. It has two main parts:

  1. The Backend for writing and organizing content and
  2. FrontEnd for showing it on the website.

Some CMSs, like WordPress, need to be installed on a server, while others, like Wix and Squarespace, work online without installation. A CMS makes it easy to update pages, add pictures or videos, and organize content. Many websites, including blogs and online stores, use a CMS. Popular CMSs include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, and Shopify.
