Creating a successful website is now easier than ever due to the Content Management System (CMS). With CMS you can create and publish web content, present it to your audience, and archivate it safely. CMS helps you keep your website well organized and comprehensive, increases the data security, and reduces the site maintenance costs.
CMS is a multifunctional application. It is capable to create a powerful portal website in a matter of minutes and it has wide supporting community. The CMS portals offer intuitive administration and dispose of detailed tutorials. CMS consists of a content management application which enables the management and modification of content without advanced webmaster knowledge, and a content delivery application, that uses new information to update the website.
A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don’t have to.

From eZ — the world’s largest Open Source Content Management software company. Content is information that is organized and stored in a structured manner by eZ Publish. For example, content may be the components of a news article (such as the title, introduction, body, and images) or the properties of a car (such as the model, year, and color).
All information that is stored for the purpose of later retrieval is referred to as content. The presentation of content is determined by the design of a site.
While content refers to structured data, design refers to the way the data is visually presented. Design includes the things that make up a web interface: HTML, stylesheets (CSS), images that are not part of the content, typography, fonts, and so on.
