Ok, so a web content management system is a software system that makes it easy to publish, manage, edit, organize and display your website content. These systems typically use template theme engines to display your content to your website visitors.

The templates can also be edited and modified but this requires a bit of HTML and CSS knowledge. It is also fairly easy to add features and functionality to your website but this usually requires a bit of technical knowledge.

Web Content management systems typically have the following features:
Automated templates – That allow you to create a visual template for your entire website or in some cases lets you assign a particular template to certain content groups or types.

Easily editable content – Most content management software includes a WYSIWYG editor that makes creating and editing your website content a little easier.

Scalable feature sets – Most content management systems have plug-ins or modules that extend your website functionality.

Web standards upgrades – Active CMS software usually gets regular updates that ensure the system stays up to current web standards.

Workflow management – The workflow management within a CMS allows you to create content but hold it back from being published until it has been edited and approved.

Document management – Some CMS systems allow for managing the life cycle of a document from creation, publication, archive and deletion.

Content virtualisation – Some CMS systems allow users to work within a virtual copy of the website which enables changes to content before it is submitted.
