What is a Content Management System (CMS)?


A Content Management System, or CMS, is the backbone of a modern, professional website. It is a secure, user-friendly software platform that allows your team—even non-technical staff—to easily add, edit, update, and manage all your website content.

Think of it as the "control panel" for your digital presence. Instead of calling a developer for every small text change or new blog post, a CMS empowers you to:

  • Publish news and articles instantly.
  • Update event calendars.
  • Add new team member bios.
  • Change homepage banners and images.
  • Manage your site's navigation and users.

This control gives you the agility to keep your content fresh, relevant, and engaging, which is critical for effective marketing and search engine optimization (SEO).

A CMS is only powerful if it's set up correctly. Sandglass specializes in building and customizing world-class CMS platforms like Drupal and WordPress, as well as engineering fully custom solutions for unique challenges.

We help you choose the right system for your needs, ensuring it's secure, fast, and easy for your team to use.
