Advantages of Using CMS in Web Development

As the World Wide Web continuously evolved, a number of tools were developed to make it easier and more convenient to develop a website as well as to maintain one. One of those tools that had been very valuable in web development is the use of WCMS, such as WordPress, Joomla!, and other popular WCMS used today.

What is WCMS?

Content Management Systems, or CMS, are computer systems that allow publishing, editing, and modifying content as well as site maintenance from a central page. A WCMS is a CMS that deals mostly with the management of websites.

Web CMS or WCMS is a software system that provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to create and manage website content with relative ease. 

A robust WCMS provides the foundation for collaboration, offering users the ability to manage documents and output for multiple author editing and participation. This, however, may require the assistance of a professional web developer, such as a wordpress developer.

The main advantage of using WCMS is that it allows non-technical users to make changes within their website without having to hire a professional web developer to accomplish this task. However, a WCMS typically requires a systems administrator and/or a web developer to set up and add features, but it is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical staff.

Different WCMS There are many WCMS used by different web professionals and experts today. One of the most popular is WordPress.

Firstly known as a blogging tool, WordPress was developed into a dynamic content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. It has many features including a plug-in architecture and a template system. However, what made WordPress even more popular is because it now has the capability to edit a website’s content on the go, which is through the use of a mobile application.

Native applications exist for WebOS, Android, iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) Windows Phone 7, and BlackBerry which provide access to some of the features in the WordPress Admin panel and work with WordPress.com and many WordPress.org blogs. To set this up, however, it may require the help of a professional web developer Philippines.

In addition to that, WordPress also features integrated link management; a search engine-friendly, clean permalink structure; the ability to assign nested, multiple categories to articles; and support for tagging of posts and articles.
