                Content Management Systems allow for us as web designers to create consistent series of text that is easily manageable.  This technology is also used in blog websites in order to make the blogging experience more streamlined in its pursuit of simplistic information and communication. Utilizing a Content Management System allows for the creator of a site of a blog to focus less on the design process or extensive coding that may take hours of time an effort that could otherwise be spent on actually working on content, so using these systems can be very helpful and not to be frowned upon for being a “shortcut” by any means.
                According to Web Design Land (conveniently hosted by Wordpress), one of the most important aspects of Content Management Systems are their affordability.  Most of these hosting sites offer their services for a relatively cheap cost considering the time that could be speculated to be saved – especially if you do not know where to begin.  For those that simply want to present information or text, this can be a fast way to get started effectively with little problem.  Another way to combat the cost of signing up with one of these CMS is realizing that most of these systems allow for easy customizability of your site at your fingertips.  This cuts out the need for a web developer, and thus an entire extra person entirely. 
                ShiftCMS gives similar praise to these systems.  Since it is so easy to change the layout of your site, you can constantly and easily update the same information for years to come and keep it fresh.  They compared it to a billboard that you can constantly update to meet the chaning desires and needs of your audience.
                SMS really does allow for more freedom while editing a site.  With a site that’s easy to manage the creators have the liberty to edit what’s truly important more frequently.  Not that the layout and design are not important, but the content is what the viewer is looking for at the end of the day, and CMS ensure that you will have one less thing to worry about.
