A web content management system (CMS) is designed to simplify the publication of Web content to Web sites, in particular allowing content creators to submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files.

A web content management system (WCMS) is essentially a software package designed to simplify displaying (publishing) Web content to Web sites. Content in essence is, any piece of digital information, which includes: text or text documents, images, graphics of just about any kind, videos, sound files, database records and so on.

A WCMS is content management system (CMS) software package, typically implemented as a Web application, for creating and managing internet content. It is used to manage and control large or small amounts of dynamic or static Web content. A WCMS facilitates content creation, control, editing, and many other useful and essential Web maintenance tasks and functions.

The WCMS software package provides creation and editing tools designed to allow website owners and users with little or no knowledge of programming languages (like php, asp, .net, c++, etc) or markup languages (like html, xml, etc.) to author and manage content with ease of use. It's kind of like creating and sending web based mail.

Typically WCMS packages use a database (we use MySQL) to store content and associated meta data. Content is sometimes (in our system) is accessed with scripts and programs written in php, java, and the like. The webpages themselves are actually "build", using our "blueprint" and content gotten from the database, on the server as they are requested by a user's browser. This php/MySQL model is much more efficient and faster than a typical and classic html webpage.

A presentation layer displays web content in a web site visitor's browser. This presentation layer is typically build with templates utilizing xml and css markup languages. The end result is uniformity throughout the website and really easy updates without worrying about layout, fonts, sizes and so on. Again updating and editing is typically with point and click ease.

A WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website with little or no training unlike Web-site builders like Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver, . A WCMS really requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but is primarily a Web-site maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.

All MyOptions Web sites are designed in a WCMS framework and templates. Giving the website owner the option of ultimate control over the content in his or her Web site. Of course there are MyOptions for maintenance and management if you don't have the time or desire to do it yourself.
