Think of a Content Management System (CMS) as Microsoft Windows®. A CMS is an internet based application which gives the end user the ability to create, edit, manage, and publish content on a website. Like Windows, a CMS has a graphical interface with an easy to use point and click method of managing content. Articles are written by recognizing visual indicators, such as icons and drop down menus, instead of using programming code.
Most popular CMS's have WYSIWYG (pronounced whiz-zee-wig) editors which stands for What You See Is What You Get. What this means is the article you are writing in the WYSIWYG editor will look the exactly same once it's saved as a web page. It's the equivalent to writing a document in Microsoft Word® and comparing it to the printed page.
This increases productivity by not requiring employees to have technical any knowledge of XHTML, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, & CSS programming languages. I probably lost you in the last sentence. That's ok, because with the right CMS you won't have to know what this means. The only thing need to know is what you want to do.

Joomla! an award-winning content management system (CMS) that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. A major advantage of using Joomla! is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.
Here are just a few examples of Web sites that use Joomla:
More examples of companies using Joomla can be found in the Joomla Community Site Showcase. |
