Content Management System (CMS)
What is a content management system (CMS)?
A content management system, often abbreviated CMS, is software that helps users create, manage, and modify content on a website without the need for specialized technical knowledge.
Simply put, a content management system is a tool that helps you create a page, add a photo, edit content without having to write code, you don’t even have to know how to program at all.
The content management system handles all those basic infrastructure things for you, so you can focus on other parts of your business.

- Content Delivery Application (CDA) - this is a background process that takes the content you enter into the CMA, stores it properly, and makes it visible to visitors in real time.
