A: A Content Management Systems (CMS) is a key component for creating modern-day websites... In the past, web developers created websites using highly specialized authoring tools. That was fine, except for one thing: web developers are rarely responsible for the content on a website. So, that meant the content owners, had to communicate their changes to the web developer. This made even the simplest changes, cumbersome. This indirect process was time consuming. And it was expensive, since most web developers charge a minimum of $65/hour.

Content Management Systems support web-based, content authoring which allows content owners to edit their content, directly and efficiently. A CMS also separates the content data from the web site styling data, making it much easier to update the look and feel of a website. Legacy content is preserved whenever you update the style of your site, protecting your long-term investment.
