CMS

Manage website pages and structured content through a content management system.

The software in this category ranges from general publishing platforms to tools for portals, intranets, communities, and wikis. A CMS gives editors a central way to create and update site content, while extensions can add functions that vary by product. Choose this category when content organization and publishing are the main job. For a post-focused site, compare blog engines; for bespoke application behavior, compare web frameworks. Review each record's documented content model, extension approach, and lifecycle before selecting a platform.
