InhalteManagementSysteme

InhalteManagementSysteme, often abbreviated as CMS, are software applications or a set of associated programs used to create, manage, and modify digital content. These systems are typically used for websites, but can also be applied to intranets, enterprise content management, and other digital platforms. A CMS allows users, even those with limited technical expertise, to publish and edit content without needing to know HTML or other coding languages.

The core functionality of a CMS usually involves separating content from presentation. This means that the text, images, and other media are stored independently from the design and layout of the page. This separation makes it easier to update content without altering the website's overall appearance and vice-versa. CMS platforms often feature a user-friendly interface, typically a web-based editor, for content creation and management.

Key features commonly found in CMS include content creation and editing tools, user and permission management, template management for design, workflow and approval processes, and often extensions or plugins to add further functionality. Popular examples of CMS platforms include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and various proprietary enterprise solutions. The choice of a CMS depends on the specific needs of an organization, ranging from simple blogging platforms to complex e-commerce sites and large-scale corporate intranets.
