A Content Management System allows the editor to interact with the site in several ways.  The CMS provides a graphical user interface that allows the editor to create content, add images and multimedia files, create content schedules, and much more.

Other Common advantages of a CMS:

• Decentralized maintenance.
  Based on a common web browser. Editing anywhere, anytime removes bottlenecks.
• Designed with non-technical content authors in mind.
  People with average knowledge of word processing can create the content directly. No HTML knowledge needed.
• Configurable access restrictions.
  Users are assigned roles and permissions that prevent them from editing content which they are not authorized to change.
• Consistency of design is preserved.
  Because content is stored separate from design, the content from all authors is presented with the same, consistent design.
• Navigation is automatically generated and adjusted.
  Menus are typically generated automatically based on the database content and links will not point to non-existing pages.
• Content is stored in a database.
  Central storage means that content can be reused in many places on the website and formatted for any device (web browser, mobile phone/WAP, PDA, print).
• Dynamic content.
  Extensions like forums, polls, shopping applications, searching, news management are typically modules.
• Cooperation.
  Encourages faster updates, generates accountability for authored content (logs) and cooperation between authors.
• Content scheduling.
  Content publication can often be time-controlled, hidden for later use or require user login with password.
