CMS benefits

Open Source Software is usually free - Open Source Content Management Systems, unlike commercial CMS software is usually Free and comes with the source code included.
Web sites built using Content Management Systems are dynamic and database driven - Content whether it be plain text or more complex multimedia information is stored in a database – this means that any kind of content can be accessed and changed more easily.
Anybody can add, create or manage content - Creating or updating content is as simple as using a Word Processor. All you need is an internet connection and Web browser. It requires very little technical knowledge and you don’t need to understand HTML.
More efficient - saves time and money - Changing the design or content of your site is much quicker than having to manually code it yourself and is more cost effective than having to pay somebody else to do it for you.
Helps improve search engine discovery - Sites that are updated regularly are more noticeable by search engines like Google, Yahoo and Windows MSN/Bing, and are more likely to appear in search results.
Mobility - access from anywhere - Because Content Management solutions are web-based you can add, edit and change content from work, home or any PC with internet access.
Multiple authors can create different views based on their preferred content - By setting up multiple user accounts, different authors can add their own content and define what kind of view they want to create e.g. what they want to see and how they want to see it.
CMS design and content are completely separated - The look and feel of your site is completely separated from the content using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This allows any design aspect e.g. colour, layout, fonts etc. to be radically modified without making a single change to the content.
Simple inclusion of interactive features - Many CMS solutions allow you to easily incorporate features such as a wikis, blogs, polls, diaries/calendars, search, and even create your very own social network – much like Facebook.
