Synopsis
Content Management Systems (CMS) automate the process of creating, publishing, and updating web site content. They make maintaining and updating the content of a web site easier, giving the content contributors, not just the web team, the means with which to manage their own content. They are usually made up of a front-end editor for inputting content, a back-end system for storing the content, and a template mechanism to get the content onto the web site.
This book will guide you through the process of arriving at a content management solution, including the background knowledge you need to know, how to go about getting a solution, implementing the solution, and migrating existing content to it.

Synopsis
Content Management Systems (CMS) automate the process of creating, publishing, and updating web site content. They make maintaining and updating the content of a web site easier allowing the content contributors, not just the web team, the means with which to manage their own content. They are usually made up of a front-end editor for inputting content (normally web-based), a back-end system for storing the content, and a template mechanism to get the content onto the web site. Implementing a CMS will make the web team more efficient, as it allows them to spend their time making better use of their skills. This book aims to give a solid grounding in Content Management Systems. It covers topics such as determining your CMS requirements, deciding whether to buy or build the CMS and what you need to think about for each option, all the way through to implementation and migrating your existing content.
