Sisällönhallintaympäristö

Sisällönhallintaympäristö, often referred to by its English acronym CMS (Content Management System), is a software application or set of related programs used to create, manage, and modify digital content. These systems are designed to simplify the process of publishing content on the internet, making it accessible to users without requiring specialized technical knowledge. A CMS typically separates the content from its presentation, allowing for easier updates and consistent branding across a website or other digital platform.

Key components of a typical CMS include a content creation interface, often a web-based editor that allows users to write and format text, upload images and other media, and organize content into pages or sections. It also includes a content management interface for storing, retrieving, and managing this content. Furthermore, a CMS usually has a delivery component that publishes the content to a website or other output channel. Many CMS platforms are open-source, meaning their source code is freely available and can be modified, while others are proprietary. Popular examples include WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. The primary benefit of using a CMS is the democratization of content creation and management, enabling individuals and organizations to maintain dynamic online presences efficiently.
