A Content Management System (CMS) is software that is installed on your web hosting account, and allows you (or the person maintaining your web site) to more easily make changes/updates without spending extra money.
Our CMS of choice is the award-winning JOOMLA! ™
Joomla is an Open Source community project, which means that there is a community or (mostly) volunteers that build and maintain it, and allows one to customize the code of CMS to better suit your needs.
There is also over 3,000 components, modules and plug-ins that one can install to extend your web site's functionality.
