More About Content Management Systems
There are different CMSs available. WordPress is one of the most popular options. This highly-customizable open-source software enables you to create a unique website with many themes and plugins.
A CMS contains two key components: a Content Management Application (CMA) and a Content Delivery Application (CDA). The CMA is the content editor where you can create and design media-rich pages with no coding knowledge. The CDA then delivers the created content to viewers. Together, these elements handle the back end infrastructure, including coding and database queries.
