A content management system (CMS) is a computer software used to manage the creation and modification of digital content.

CMSs are typically used for enterprise content management (ECM) and web content management (WCM).

ECM typically supports multiple users in a collaborative environment[4] by integrating document management, digital asset management, and record retention.[5]

Alternatively, WCM is the collaborative authoring for websites and may include text and embed graphics, photos, video, audio, maps, and program code that display content and interact with the user.[6][7] ECM typically includes a WCM function.

Structure

A CMS typically has two major components: a content management application (CMA), as the front-end user interface that allows a user, even with limited expertise, to add, modify, and remove content from a website without the intervention of a webmaster; and a content delivery application (CDA), that compiles the content and updates the website.

Installation type

There are two types of CMS installation: on-premises and cloud-based. On-premises installation means that the CMS software can be installed on the server. This approach was usually taken by businesses who wants flexibility in their setup. Popular CMS system which can be installed on premises are Wordpress.org, Drupal, Joomla, ModX and others.

The cloud-based CMS is hosted on the vendor environment. With this approach the CMS software can not be modified for the customer. Good examples of cloud-based CMS are SquareSpace, Wordpress.com, WIX.
