What is a CMS?

CMS is the abbreviation for Content Management System. In the system, editors without programming knowledge can create and maintain content without having to enter and manage source code. Editing works via the WYSIWYG editor. Content management systems are available in both paid and free versions.

What significance does the CMS have for SEO?

Content management systems make work considerably easier. The fact alone that no programming language needs to be learned speaks for itself. In order for a website to perform well in search engine rankings, a number of factors need to be taken into account. These include

  • good website structure
  • Use of visual elements
  • relevant content
  • Updating the contents
  • Keywording and links

All of this can be easily realized with a content management system. Texts can be easily inserted into CMS, designed in the editor and provided with visual elements. Regular updates and changes can also be made quickly thanks to the simple operation of the system. Without a CMS, the effort required to create proper websites that perform well in the rankings would be much greater.

Which CMS systems are well-known and popular?

WordPress, Joomla, Typo3 and Drupal are probably the best-known CMSs. WordPress is very popular because it is extremely easy to use. WordPress is also an option for SMEs in particular, as it is intuitive to use. It is also particularly suitable for blogs.
