Often you hear web design or hosting companies talk about their CMS.  So what is it?

CMS stands for a Content Management System.  The intent of a CMS is to allow you to update your website without needing any technical or programming skills.   Why is this important?   Well, in years gone by, companies employed a web design firm to complete the design of their website and put it out on the internet.   The biggest problem was when you needed to make a change, put a new page on the site, update a product or even take down a piece of information.  You couldn't do it yourself!  You needed to go back to your web designer to get them to make the change... and they often charged you for it!
