​A Content Management System (CMS) is a software platform that enables users to create, manage, and modify digital content without requiring extensive technical knowledge. It streamlines the process of building and maintaining websites by separating content creation from the technical aspects of web development. ​

Key features of a CMS include intuitive content editing interfaces, often with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors, allowing users to format text, insert images, and embed media easily. They also offer templates and themes to ensure consistent design across all pages, user role management to control access and permissions, and version control to track changes and revert to previous versions if necessary.

Popular CMS platforms include WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, each offering unique functionalities and customization options to cater to different user needs. ​

By utilizing a CMS, businesses and individuals can efficiently manage their digital content, ensuring their websites remain up-to-date, engaging, and aligned with their objectives.​
