Picking A Cms

A content wizard to do the magic for you

Introduction

Now that you know about all the moving parts of a fully functioning website on the internet, how soon do you think you could put one up? In other words, how soon do you think you can learn to code in multiple languages? Did we mention that it has to be done while coming up with content at the same time?

Thankfully, there are tools for easily constructing your online real estate in a short amount of time (a few hours to a few minutes), known as Content Management Systems. CMSs, for brevity. As the name suggests, a CMS helps you build, maintain and update a site with a focus on the main component - the Content. The CMS handles the rest, with almost all of the functionality configured and deployed behind the scenes. As we will see, CMSs need to evolve constantly with the internet, and therefore necessarily possess modularity, in the form of plugins. Plugins exist for all sorts of extra automation like auto-SEO or auto-responsiveness, or even a whole e-commerce module. You can view the range once you pick your tools. Other than the innards (code creation), another important facet taken care of by the CMS is the outer appearance. The ability to use templates and themes greatly streamlines the amount of time and choices to a great design. It is not possible to give too much general information about CMSs because each is unique in its own way (except the blatant rip-offs of course), but that’s what this chapter is for! Read on so we can help you choose the CMS that will be right for your needs!
