Acmeweb solutions has been offering Content Management Systems for awhile now, and a post explaining what it is and whether it would be an effective solution for our clients is long overdue. We hope this article would be helpful to our existing and prospective clients who are looking to self-publish content on their websites.

A Content Management System (CMS) allows the user to create, manage, and delete content from their websites without the need for going through us to do these updates. This means you can add new pages, articles, or products on your website with easy to use tools that does not require technical knowledge of HTML (although a little know-how would be useful). Adding content is very similar to editing a Word document, with tools for font-formatting, adding new images and the like. The system also allows you to add, and manage the links for your navigation menus.
Of course there are limitations with CMS’s, for example you can only typically edit the content, but you cannot do any updates to the layout or general design of your site. Your site will be defined by a general layout, with a “content region” where your content will go.
