Sisältöhallintajärjestelmä

sisältöhallintajärjestelmä, often abbreviated as CMS (Content Management System), is a software application or set of related programs used to create, manage, and modify digital content. It typically allows users to publish and edit web content without needing specialized technical knowledge. A CMS separates the content from the presentation, meaning that the content itself (text, images, videos) is stored separately from how it is displayed on a website. This makes it easier for non-technical users to update and maintain websites.

Common features of a CMS include a content creation interface, often a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, which allows users to format text and insert media like a word processor. It also provides tools for managing content, such as organizing pages, categories, and tags, as well as workflows for content approval and publishing. Most CMS platforms offer templates or themes to control the visual appearance of the website, and many support plugins or extensions to add extra functionality.

Popular examples of content management systems include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Shopify. These systems are used for a wide variety of purposes, from personal blogs and small business websites to large corporate intranets and e-commerce platforms. The primary benefit of using a CMS is the decentralization of content management, enabling multiple users to contribute and update content efficiently and consistently.
