Content Management Systems: A content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web site. It allows the content manager or author, who may not know Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to manage the creation, modification, and removal of content from a Web site without needing the expertise of a Webmaster. CMS systems are many times user-generated, taking full advantage of Web 2.0.
