A content management system (CMS) is an editable set of web pages that enables you to organize, categorize, and manage content through a web-based interface. So rather than build pages in HTML and then use an FTP client to move the files to a web server, you just log in to a web page and make content changes through your browser. A CMS can take many forms. For example, Facebook is a CMS that allows you to add, edit, and manage information about yourself through your web browser (see Figure 20.1). A CMS also allows multiple people to edit these pages.
