How Content Management Systems work
All content management systems are different - built for different purposes and needs, but most share some level of basic functionality. Content Management Systems will normally store the pages of a website in a database, not in html files like traditional web management packages such as Frontpage or Dreamweaver.A CMS is usually a good idea when the website has a lot of pages, or the content needs to be changed frequently. A good CMS will speed up the process of adding content, by creating the new page, adding a button on the menu, and putting a link in the sitemap. Becuase this happens automatically, it makes for a good level of consistency across the site, where a manual system is subject to user error.
