A Content Management System, or a CMS, is a computer program used to either create, control or manage digital content on the Internet.[1] Adobe Dreamweaver is a software that can also be used for Web creation and design. Today, millions of websites and blogs are being maintained by at least some of these tools, any of which can be started by anyone with an idea for a blog or a business, large or small.
Three different examples of CMSs are WordPress, Joomla & Drupal. WordPress is by far the most popular CMS, powering more than 74 million websites and blogs, with an online market share higher than both Joomla and Drupal combined.[2] Joomla, which comes at a distant second, has caused much confusion among its users as to how it can function, but it can be very useful for building portal sites with lots of content.[2] In third place is Drupal, which is extremely flexible and powerful as an open source CMS; it has been adopted by many government agencies because its permissions and workflow are much better compared to WordPress.[2]
Dreamweaver is feature-packed with both visual and code-level capabilities and gives designers complete control over HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other aspects of creating websites.[3] It can be used to create templates, themes, and plugins that can be added to CMSs later on. Websites created this way can later on be functional for their organizations, while also being able to have its website content updated by their managers. Content Management Systems are useful for ongoing maintenance of websites that already exist, but Dreamweaver is most useful for creating brand-new websites from scratch.[3]
