	A content management system (CMS) provides the user ways to manage work flow in a multi-user environment. These methods can be manual or automatic, behind-the-scenes functions. Typically a CMS is used to hold the content for pages that change frequently, or to manage pages that have new content added on a regular basis. A CMS helps the client immensely, empowering the client to change certain content at will without having to hire a web developer to do it.</p>
<p>
	In most situations, the text content of the various pages, the page titles, and SEO META information can all be edited directly by the client by logging in to their custom content management system. Freeing the client from paying to do menial tasks on the website ends up costing the client less in the long term.</p>
<p>
	CMS solutions are designed to do the following:</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		Allow for many users to all manage the same content</li>
	<li>
		Limit access to certain data to only certain users with clearance for it</li>
	<li>
		Help the user easily get to, and modify, data</li>
	<li>
		Eliminate the need for tedious, repetitive input of data</li>
	<li>
		Generate reports from data in a variety of ways</li>
</ul>
<p>
	In a CMS, the data can be almost anything: files, videos, images, phone numbers, scientific data, and so on.</p>
<p>
	Here at PagesActive, we have a completely custom-built CMS solution that we use in all of our websites. It is highly customizable, and can end up fitting a wide range of use cases. And the best thing about it is that if you ever need the CMS to handle a new type of data, we can add it. We built it, so we can modify the core code at will. We can&#39;t say the same for other CMS programs.</p>
