For these reasons and more, traditional HTML is usually the best route when it comes to
corporate information websites. The markup language is fundamentally designed to
handle text, and browsers are by nature built to quickly and accurately display HTML
pages. This allows the greatest number of users to access your information with the fewest
possible hindrances.
Content management systems
The goal of a content management system (CMS) is to control a site??™s content??”text, pictures,
links, ads, videos, and more??”in one single application. The software runs on the
server, is tied to a database, and is written with a server-side language like PHP, ASP.NET,
Ruby on Rails, or Python. Once a user logs in, they can easily add, update, and delete content,
as well as control the templates that drive the presentation of the site. There are literally
hundreds of CMSs??”many of them free and open source??”so it is impossible to
detail them all, but here are a few mainstream examples.
WordPress
A blog is a basic example of a CMS: the author logs in, writes a post, and clicks ???publish.
