Web Content Management System - WCMS - A web based CMS is used to manage the content of a Website. It is used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). A WCMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and many essential Web maintenance functions.

Administration is done through browser-based interfaces. A WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to an existing website with little or no training. A WCMS typically requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but is primarily a Website maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.
