CMS is the acronym for Content Management System, a type of computer system that facilitates the creation and management of content for web pages.

When we create a web page we not only use a domain and hosting, we also need to use a CMS. This computer system will facilitate the design of our page with texts, colors, images, etc … without us having to know about programming. The CMS will allow us to connect to the database where everything is stored quickly and easily. They have a variety of templates to choose the right design and it is easy to use whether you understand or not about web projects.

Currently we have a variety of free CMS on the internet, they are open source CMS. This software is free for all users. When we say free we mean that it is not owned by anyone, the software can be optimized by any developer whenever they want. To make a simple comparison, open source CMS are like houses that everyone can enter and improve the decoration.

Among the advantages of using CMS we can highlight, regardless of the fact that there are free ones, which is that you can use it on your own. Only we set the limit of how far we want to go. They are also very easy to use and are updated from time to time providing new design functions. Through them we can create everything you can think of, from an online store to a website to attract customers. And if at any time we have a question about any aspect of the CMS, there are many discussion forums where we can find out and ask questions.

There are an infinity of CMS that we can find on the internet. We show you the top 5 of the best known ones capable of creating practically everything.

  • WordPress. The most used due to its simplicity of use, it has a multitude of plugins and is super optimized.
  • Joolma CMS. Direct competitor of WordPress, its use is not as simple as the previous one since the language is a bit more convoluted.
  • Drupal. More difficult to use than the previous ones. If you are not an expert on the subject, it is better to use either of the two that we have mentioned.
  • Magento. One of the most popular content managers today for creating online stores with large catalogs.
  • Prestashop. Like Magento, a content manager that is also very popular, focused on stores with medium-sized catalogs.
