A Content Management System (CMS) , is an easy way of managing content (ie. the words) on your website.
One of the key reasons for using a Content Management System is that it keeps design and content separate, which means that a user with little or no knowledge of HTML can log into a website using their browser, and update the content of their website.
A CMS will allow you to control the content you deliver to your website. Using a CMS, you can edit pages easily, and add new pages as you need to.
