What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

In general, websites can be divided into two categories: dynamic and static:
Static websites are those with fixed text and images. Changes and edits to the content of these sites can only be made by the web designer. These types of websites are suitable for users who do not intend to change their content for a long time.
In dynamic websites, as the name suggests, the content is dynamic. A Content Management System, or CMS, which stands for Content Management System, is the most important part of a dynamic website. A content management system allows you to create, edit, organize, and publish content. Imagine you have a website or an online store. What does the content of your website include? What do you want to include on your site? Pictures, text, videos, music, products, etc.? Whatever the content of your website is, the content management system helps you manage it easily without having programming knowledge or writing hundreds of lines of different code.
Without a content management system, you would have to write code in various languages to place a simple video on your website, upload the code, debug it, and deal with many other challenges that could arise at any moment. In other words, a content management system is software installed on the server that allows you to manage your website's content.

Different Types of Content Management Systems

There are different types of content management systems, but in general, they can be divided into two categories: custom and ready-made. One of the most well-known ready-made content management systems is WordPress.

WordPress, a Big Mistake

WordPress is usually the first recommendation we hear when choosing a CMS. Initially, WordPress was considered a professional blog-building system. It was designed to be a powerful content management system for bloggers. However, over time, it expanded and with the additional features added, it developed into a system that could handle news, corporate, and even e-commerce websites. The reasons WordPress has gained so much attention include its lightweight nature, being free, having various plugins, and being optimized for search engines. If your goal in building a website is to write different posts, blog, or create a news site, WordPress can be the best option for you. However, if you aim to start an online business or build a large website with special features, do not rely too much on WordPress.
As mentioned earlier, the main application of this CMS is for blogging, and by installing different plugins, it may lose its original purpose. In other words, with various plugins installed, the site gradually becomes heavy. Now imagine that your business grows day by day, and you want to add more products to your website. With the site's loading speed slowing down, many of your visitors will be lost.
Another issue is the support for WordPress. If you encounter a problem while using WordPress, you will have to pay to have it resolved by experts. Additionally, working with WordPress can be challenging for beginners and inexperienced web users.
