What is CMS?
 
CMS is an acronym for Content Management System, referring to the creation, modification, archiving and removal of information resources from an organised repository (ie. database).  A CMS usually includes tools for publishing, format management, revision control, indexing, search and retrieval. 
 
To have a dynamic website means you have a Content Management System.  Standard websites can use "out-of-the-box" CMS frameworks such as Mambo.  Though powerful, these systems usually offer a limited choice of ways to customize them.  Treading outside of those boundaries is problematic.  If your business requirements are sensitive to your User Experience, including ease of use, special functionality, and unique design, you probably require a custom CMS solution.
 
Large software companies such as IBM, BEA, and many others sell customizable Content Management Systems starting at $250,000 USD up to millions of dollars, and require teams of specially trained individuals to design, operate, and maintain.  More economical solutions are available, but all Content Management Systems have limitations, and choosing the right one for your website is paramount to achieving success with your Web Strategies.
