Content Management System (CMS) websites enable the website owner to update, add, delete or otherwise edit website content on the fly. It removes the need for the website owner or administrator to retain a webmaster to make simple updates to a website. It also provides the website owner with a secure administrative back end (accessed through a web browser) where content can be edited. Since CMS sites are very popular, there are many cool applications and programs written for the site. The website owner can install these applications (called Plug-Ins) with the click of a button. Content management software can also be used to assist enter blogs and other information into a computer. The software is a benefit simply because it helps save time and even those with limited HTML skills should be able to use it efficiently. Therefore, many companies who use the internet regularly may develop their own type of content management software that suits their needs. This also helps save money as it cuts down on HTML teaching and the time it would take to build a web site from scratch. Those who find they need to use content management system software will often provide it free on their network or over the internet. The guidance that goes along with the software is minimal and the product is mostly intuitive. Most of those with just a limited amount of computer experience should be able to pick it up fairly fast. One of the biggest criticisms of content management software is that it stifles creativity and makes too many sites look the same. While this may be true, this is no different than what any other web template may do. Therefore, this tendency to streamline production at the stake of individuality is nothing new. In fact, it has been done for years. Content management software does have some limitations, however. First, advanced HTML programming may not be allowed in all cases. Therefore, much of the site remains a basic layout. Second, some of the content management fields may be too limiting, in the number of characters, for the communications that is trying to be conveyed.
