CMS: Content Management System

The full form of CMS is Content Management System. It is a computer application that helps you create a website. Content Management System (CMS) is software that helps users create, manage, and modify content on a website without the need for specialized technical knowledge. In simpler language, a content management system is a tool that helps you build a website without needing to write all the code from scratch (or even know how to code at all).
