Contentbeheerssystemen

Contentbeheerssystemen, often abbreviated as CMS, are software applications or a set of related programs used to create, manage, and modify digital content. These systems are designed to allow users, even those with limited technical expertise, to easily add, edit, and publish content on a website or other digital platform. The primary goal of a CMS is to separate content from presentation, meaning the actual text, images, and other media are stored and managed independently from the design and layout of the website.

CMS platforms typically offer features such as content creation tools, version control for tracking changes, user management with different permission levels, workflow capabilities for content approval, and template management for consistent design. Popular examples include WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, each offering varying degrees of flexibility and complexity. By centralizing content management, CMSs streamline the process of updating websites, collaborating on content creation, and maintaining a consistent online presence. They are widely used by businesses, organizations, and individuals for managing everything from simple blogs to complex e-commerce sites.
