A Content Management System (CMS) is a method of website design that allows non-specialists to create, edit, manage, and publish all kinds of content and digital images or media. A CMS website will always have two 'views' or ways of accessing the site: a 'front-end view', which is how the website design appears to the public, and a 'back-end' or 'admin view', which is where the site administrators can log in to access a control panel.

Open Source CMS website designs have been popularized through blogging platforms such as Wordpress. The past 2-3 years have also witnessed explosive growth in the use of CMS website designs for a great variety of other, non-blogging purposes. Companies and non-profits have found that a CMS website design provides control over their digital marketing and information while reducing costs. Many vertical website markets such as real estate agents, restaurants, auto sellers, bookstores, online retailers, software vendors, schools, sports companies and churches are taking versatility of CMS platforms like Joomla.
