A content management system or a CMS is an application designed to create, edit, modify, publish, as well as manage and maintain the content on a website. CMS platforms like the WordPress, Joompla or Drupal are some useful tools if you want to have a website or blog running but do not have the technical expertise of coding. These are open source platforms which mean they can be customized and also free of cost. So, when it comes to choosing the right one, it can be a difficult choice. While there is fan following for each of the above CMS platforms, statistics show that over 40% of the sites using CMS use WordPress, and over 60 million websites use WordPress, making it the most popular choice. WordPress started off primarily as a tool for blogging but soon evolved to be a CMS tool with its simplicity and user-friendliness to build websites.
