A CMS is a web application that provides all the necessary tools to manage online content and users, or more specifically, a server-side software that facilitates the creation and maintenance of websites. Probably one of the most notable perks of having a CMS is that users don’t need extensive technical expertise to generate webpages, to upload or modify content. CMSs feature an administration area that allows users to upload or edit their content as needed. This admin area is accessible through a web-browser, which means that no client software installation is needed and an internet connection is all you need to start working on your website. A CMS essentially eliminates the need for a webmaster and allows users to take matters into their own hands.

When setting up a website, business owners are faced with a choice – whether or not to implement an off-the-shelf Content Management System or opt for a hand-coded custom one. Before CMS, people would hand-code their websites on their local computers and used an FTP program to move those files to their webserver, and then these files would become available on their websites. If they needed to modify something, they had to go through the whole process again. While continuing to apply this old method is no longer feasible, some people do favor a custom CMS over out-of-the-box solutions like WordPress or Drupal.
