For example, let’’s say a company wanted to re-brand itself or received some funds to update its web presence. The traditional approach to this process would require someone to manually take all of the content - the information on every page of a site - and copy, edit, and massage it into each and every new page of the newly designed site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Similar inefficiencies existed with having one or more webmasters who essentially were the gatekeepers of the web. Content creators had to email updated web content to their webmasters. Webmasters spent hours hand-coding new pages, making changes, or archiving outdated information. The process for publishing and editing content on the web was slow. Good for webmasters, bad for Website owners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These problems are what spurred the creation of “CMS” or content management systems.

CMS, or rather the technology behind them, are tools that allow a non-technical user to quickly and easily post information to the web.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This goal is accomplished by addressing the architecture issue of a web page. With CMS, the content of a site is stored outside of design elements - the content is actually stored in a database.
