If you want a CMS to help publish content online without learning how to code, you’re probably looking for a web content management system. These systems provide tools that make it easy to create, edit and manage website content without coding or programming. They usually offer templates that make it easy to design the website and individual posts. Creating new content is as easy as using a Word document, and it can be posted automatically.

If you plan to reuse bits and pieces of content, such as photos and phrases, and you want to push content out to multiple channels, you might want a component content management system. These systems track, organize and store content at a granular—or component—level. Each piece of content, including words, phrases and images, is stored as a single entity, so it’s easy to find and reuse portions of your content. A component content management system is designed to maximize the reuse of content, and it can deploy content in various channels, including web, mobile, print and PDF.

As more business processes are digitized, many organizations need a CMS that will automatically organize, secure, digitize and track documents in the cloud. A document management system allows you to securely manage, process, track and share documents without printing, copying or scanning them. Because these systems are cloud-based, you can also access your stored documents remotely from anywhere you have an internet connection.

If you plan to only publish content for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, you may be best suited to a mobile content management system. These systems provide all the same content creation, development, design and publishing tools, but they are specifically used for mobile content development.

Do you need a CMS to manage in-house content for the day-to-day management of your business? If so, an enterprise content management system may be the right fit. These systems allow members of an organization to get easy access to the content they need to collaborate, communicate and complete projects, and to make decisions about their work. Rather than holding information about various projects in silos or departments, an enterprise system collects, organizes and tracks all the content that shapes the framework of a company and its current projects, increasing efficiency and allowing employees and members to automatically process and store files of any type from any location.

If you need a system that will allow you to manage, access and publish content and media assets digitally, while also providing access to third parties such as clients or contractors, you may need a digital asset management system. This is a centralized system that allows you to store, organize and share digital content, as well as a library where clients, employees, or contractors can access that content, including audio, video, presentations, documents and creative files. Not only does the system keep your content secure, but it also lets you manage a branded web portal to allow others to access your files, and makes it easy for you to distribute to other publishers, social media platforms and other locations.

There are a number of different types of content management systems, but they all share a focus on managing content in a way that is easy to access and organize. While each type of CMS has unique features, they all offer easy digital content storage, streamlined access to your content, seamless content delivery, and the ability to provide detailed reports and analysis.

Before committing to a CMS, take time to understand the various types and determine the one that will best meet your goals.
