CMSs allow easy website editing, publishing, and modifications from a central interface.

Many organizations prefer to use a CMS because they make website content maintenance simple without the need to rely on technical staff.

Popular CMS platforms have large developer and user communities behind them which provide many advantages to other developers and users, such as:

• System security is constantly tested and vulnerabilities are reported.
• The community can act as a non-critical support forum to help users with issues they might run into.

Last, many popular CMS platforms including WordPress and Drupal are free to download and use, making them attractive to small businesses, nonprofits, and organizations with limited budgets for digital projects.
