Content Management Systems are commonly referred to as the 'back-end' of a web site, and they allow the website administrator to effectively manage their website through a system that manages website files, manages media files (such as images, videos, and audio files), and also allows the administrator to edit website files such as pages, and posts.
But which Content Management System is right for me? And what are some things I should consider when choosing a content management system?
There are a few main Content Management Systems (CMS's) on the market today, and each system has specific characteristics which make it suitable, or unsuitable depending upon what your web site is trying to do.
The WordPress Content Management System (CMS) is suitable for blogs, and websites which contain mainly content or information, along with images, or video files. While it's true that WordPress can also be set-up to manage an e-commerce online shop, and can facilitate that with e-commerce plugins, it's also true that it is still somewhat limited in terms of what it can do from a technical perspective.
Drupal is another Content Management System (CMS) that is far more advanced than WordPress, and has the ability to factor in website of a more technical nature, it also allows a website to be organised better, and is suitable for websites which contain large data sets. The exchange of data between applications, and databases is also easier from a developers perspective.
