Content Management System

What is a CMS?

A CMS is software that helps users create, manage and modify content on a website without the need for specialized technical knowledge.

Content can be images, descriptions, titles, links, etc... Basically anything you can SEE on a website.


What makes up a CMS?

There are two core parts:

  • A content management application (CMA) which is where you manage the content.
  • A content delivery application (CDA) which is where the content is consumed and displayed visually on the site.

What is a headless CMS?

Basically a CMS without the CDA portion described above. This allows developers to use their preferred technologies when building the frontend. Content can be consumed via the headless CMS API.
