A content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web site.[1] CMSs are deployed primarily for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors. For example, the software for the website Wikipediais based on a wiki, which is a particular type of content management system. For the purposes of this page, Content management means Web Content Management. Other related forms of content management are listed below.The content managed includes computer files, imagemedia, audio files, electronic documentsand web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available inter-office, as well as over the web. A CMS would most often be used as an archive as well. Many companies use a CMS to store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies use a CMS to share files with ease, as most systems use server-based software, even further broadening file availability. As shown below, many CMSs include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a "workflow process".
"Workflow" is the idea of moving an electronic document along for either approval, or for adding content. Some CMSs will easily facilitate this process with email notification, and automated routing. This is ideally a collaborative creationof documents. A CMS facilitates the organization, control, and publication of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and multimediaresources.
Exponent is a website content management system (or CMS) that allows site owners to easily create and manage dynamic websites without necessarily directly coding web pages, or managing site navigation.Exponent is completely self-contained
Unlike other site management tools, no additional applications need to be downloaded by a user to permit them to use Exponent. Everything, from user management, to site configuration, to content editing (and content approval for large, multi-admin sites), is done within the system - simply. Exponent does what other CMS systems do - it allows anyone to create website pages, content on pages, and manage where these pages are placed on a website - but it does all this in a completely new way.
Easy-to-use at any skill level
Exponent uses an intuitive and flexible content editing system that allows website pages to be edited on the page as it is displayed - no more back-end administration, no more navigating endless administration pages to add a simple line of text - simply visit the page you need to edit as if you were a site visitor, and make the change.
Why designers love Exponent
Exponent CMS is modular, but flexible. Content Management can be mirrored through a site and edited in any instance or copy from any page that the content is placed on, or simply created as unique content. Multiple site themes and CSS stylesheets are easily integrated, and sub-themes (separate frameworks for content within a common appreance or theme) are possible with minimum fuss. A large range of different content modules can be activated via the admin interface with ease and used, other community-supported modules uploaded and installed automatically in a few moments, and external scripts can be incorporated with ease. Exponent's framework also rewards developers who need to create their own custom solutions.
Exponent is Open Source
Exponent is created for the community, by the community. Exponent developers support the Exponent Project because they believe in not only the system as a new and radically different CMS offering, but also because they appreciate its underlying simplicity and common sense. But also, it's free for download from this site. Now - click here
