CMS


Content Management System . A CMS page is created, saved, edited and delivered dynamically from the web server. The content of a website is stored in a database on a server and the content of a web page is generated on the fly when a visitor accesses a page. Put another way, the content of the page is not pre-written. Content is changed and created using a web browser allowing users to update their site from remotely. For comparison, traditional websites are built from static pages that must be hand coded then uploaded to a web server -- the content of the page is pre-written.
