The CMS offers the following basic functions:

Separation of content, structure and design:
The separation of these three elements of any website brings crucial advantages during the life-cycle of a website and even longer.

Initially, the design is created, extended or relaunched, without having to extract and reinsert the content - design and content arrange themselves.

Simple content production, no programming knowledge required:
The graphical user interface (or the alternative front-end editing function) allows authors to write texts, insert images and multimedia data and control content chronologically, in order to build and maintain a dynamic website. This is made easier with the server-side image-creation, e.g. for automatic generation of navigation elements, graphical image headings etc.

General advantages of CMS:

Centralised maintenance:
The CMS works with any usable web browser. You can edit when and where you wish, without restrictions.

For authors without technical background:
If you can use word processing, you can also create online content with the CMS.

No HTML knowledge required:

Configurable access restrictions:
Users can be assigned roles and rights, which prevents unauthorised alterations of content.

Receipt of design specification:
Contents and design are stored separately. Consequently, the entire content of all authors in one design is given consistently.

Automatic navigation generation:
Menus are typically generated from database contents. Hyperlinks are only displayed if they refer to valid pages.

Storage of contents in a database:
Central content storage means that contents can be reused at different locations and adequately formatted for the relevant medium (web browser, mobile phone / WAP, PDA, print).

Dynamic contents:
Modular extensions such as forums, surveys, shops, applications, search functions and news management are available as ready-to-use modules.

Content "just in time":
The publication of content is precisely controllable with respect to time. Contents can be prepared in the background and only viewed in the so-called "hidden preview" in advance by authorised users.
