What’s a CMS?
“A content management system (CMS) is a computer application that supports the creation and modification of digital content using a common user interface and thus usually supporting multiple users working in a collaborative environment.”
There are many popular CMS on the internet to help you in specific situations such as creating blogs, creating online stores, making digital agency etc. Some of the CMS are listed below with detailed functionality, working in specific conditions & their development as well.
- WordPress
- Blogger
- Joomla
- Drupal
- Magento
- PrestaShop
- Osclass
WordPress CMS:
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL installed on web server to create websites.
It was released first on May 27, 2003. Till 2015, over 60 million websites have been created with WordPress.
WP (WordPress) has changed the direction and dimension of dynamic web development. It made development process so easy, now a non-technical person can also create his/her blog, portfolio or digital agency within a few hours.
Purpose of Use:
I must say WordPress was basically made for blogging. But now it can be used to create any type of website such as an ecommerce store, video sharing portal and learning management system etc.
Process of Web Development via WordPress:
- First of all install WordPress zip file
- Go for any theme (Website Design for WordPress).
- FREE Themes are available on WordPress.org.
Blogger CMS:
Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003.
Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a sub-domains of blogspot.com. But Custom domain and hosting make it perfect. It’s a free service with limited access to the back end servers.
Purpose of Use:
As mentioned above blogger is used to create free BlogSpot blogs, but with custom domain and hosting it’s very effective. With Free Blogger Templates you have opportunity to develop any kind of websites.
Process of Web Development via Blogger:
- Login to your blogger account via Gmail (must have).
- Now you got Admin panel called Blogger Dashboard.
- Here you can add custom domains and can create new blogs.
- Install a template via template section and save changes.
- Your live blog is now ready for you.
Joomla CMS:
Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS.
Till February 2014, Joomla has been downloaded over 50 million times. It is estimated to be the 2nd most used CMS on the Internet, after WordPress.
Purpose of Use:
It is use to create multi-level controller web based applications. It enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. I can say, it is more secure than WordPress in terms of web security due to strong module controller.
Process of Web Development via Joomla:
- Joomla is more technical than WordPress and blogger which we’ve covered earlier.
- Basic process is simple as earlier in WP & blogger.
- Installing template, customizing at desired level are some basics you need to know.
- Give a try to search for basic tutorials on YouTube, Udemy, Lynda etc.
