Content Management System

Abstract

The CMS will be designed for ultimate flexibility and intuitive ease of use. The software will be designed to manage any number of different Content Management applications, because none of the html code will be hard-coded, rather it will be generated from a table in the database or a file on the server, that too dynamically. This leads to a great deal of flexibility in the way your site can be set up. "To have an illustrated look over the fimctions and operations of a CMS one may want to visit www.crownpeak.com, or www.artologik.com. For an example of a content managed website, one may visit the Fairfield City Council's website, www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au. "What the end-user (a web server to be precise) sees is simply a beautifitl home page. However, what's going on the background is that every single image and line of text on that page is being stored in a database and constructed to look right on the screen. What is the mechanism for making the images and text look the way we want them on the screen? It is the template. UnderstCfY!ding templates is an important aspect of understanding the CMS. "The CMS will be utilizing several different templates that will be used to construct the data elements of a particular category into the final look that you want for each section."
