CMS (Content Management System)
A CMS is software that lets you create and update the content of a website, such as pages, text and images, without having to write code.
CMS stands for Content Management System. It's the tool that lets you publish an article, change the text on a page or upload a photo to your site using a panel similar to a text editor, without depending on a developer every time.
A CMS separates the content from the technical side of the site: you take care of the words and images, and the system handles showing them correctly within the layout that's already set up. Many CMSs add user management (who can edit what), version history and features to organize content into categories.
There are very widespread, ready-to-use CMSs, often extendable with plugins, and more specific or custom solutions. The right choice depends on how unusual your site is and on how much autonomy you want in the day-to-day management of content.
FAQ
Yes, that's exactly its purpose. With a CMS you edit text, images and pages from an intuitive panel, without touching code. A little initial practice helps, but for day-to-day tasks like publishing news or changing a price you become self-sufficient and don't need a developer for every change.
