A lot of websites are run by more than one person and multiple individuals are contributing to the content of the website. Sometimes it becomes confusing because two different administrators can publish the same content twice or skip important articles or news assuming that the others will work on them instead. With content management system it becomes really easy to share tasks and responsibilities on your website. With the help of CMS you can easily open accounts for multiple administrators and/or editors and split the tasks between them.
Content management systems also come with easy to customize layouts so that you can easily integrate it into your existing website or alter the look and feel of your system to your liking. With your CMS it is even possible to have multiple designs of the same website. For example, you have several sections of your website and they all require different headers or perhaps you want your navigation tree to expend with more links once you enter a specific section. All of this is possible to implement in matter of minutes with the content management system.
When you have a CMS, you suddenly have a tremendous advantage in the time it takes to react to market intelligence. You can write, edit and make updates to your content including technical information, prices, etc. as soon as this information becomes available. This could be essential if you run a websites about computer virus and new outbreaks or a news site where you need to post updates to the story often.
You can also make necessary tune-ups to your website as you go. For example, you decide that you want to show link to your site index on a more prominent position. You realize that doing so will improve accessibility of your website. With your CMS you can implement the necessary changes in minutes and compare the results within twenty four hours.
Version control means that you know, and can control, what content is supposed to be live today, what is ready to go live next week, and what is being prepared by your team for the week after, and keep them separate and organized. It also means that you can have one version of a news story live now, one being written to update it in an hour's time, and one incorporating the press release which should not go live until tonight.
