User Experience
Mobile optimized websites allows to enhance the user experience and satisfaction with easy accessibility and faster downloads. -
Access control
Create user groups and define special permissions at functional or page level access, prevent unauthorized access to your valuable content. -
Scalable expansion
Ability to expand a single implementation (one installation on one server) across multiple domains, depending on the server’s settings. Create microsites and web portals within a main site. -
Easily editable content
Since the content is separated from the visual presentation of a site, it is much easier and quicker to edit and manipulate using the editing tools. -
Scalable feature sets
Support for plug-ins or modules that can be easily installed to extend an existing site’s functionality. -
Web standards upgrades
Active Web Content Management System software usually receives regular updates that include new feature sets and keep the system up to current web standards. -
Workflow management
Ability to define the process for content approval by creating cycles of sequential and parallel tasks that must be accomplished in the CMS. -
Collaboration
CMS software can act as a collaboration platform by allowing one or many authorized users to work on same content, the changes are tracked and publishing is managed by versioning. -
Delegation
Some CMS software allows for various user groups to have limited privileges over specific content on the website, spreading out the responsibility of content management. -
Document management
CMS software may provide a means of collaboratively managing the life cycle of a document from initial creation time, through revisions, publication, archive, and document destruction. -
Content virtualization
CMS software may provide a means of allowing each user to work within a virtual copy of the entire web site, document set, and/or code base. This enables changes to multiple interdependent resources to be viewed and/or executed in-context prior to submission. -
Content syndication
CMS software often assists in content distribution by generating RSS and Atom data feeds to other systems. They may also e-mail users when updates are available as part of the workflow process. -
Multilingual
Ability to display content in multiple languages. -
Versioning
Like document management systems, CMS software may allow the process of versioning by which pages are checked in or out of the WCMS, allowing authorized editors to retrieve previous versions and to continue work from a selected point. Versioning is useful for content that changes over time and requires updating, but it may be necessary to go back to or reference a previous copy.

Cost effective
Some content management systems are free, others may be affordable based on size subscriptions. Although subscriptions can be expensive, overall the cost of not having to hire full-time developers can lower the total costs. -
Easy customization
A universal layout is created, making pages have a similar theme and design without much code. Many CMS tools use a drag and drop AJAX system for their design modes. It makes it easy for beginner users to create custom front-ends. -
Easy to use
CMSs are designed with non-technical people in mind. Simplicity in design of the admin UI allows website content managers and other users to update content without much training in coding or technical aspects of system maintenance. -
Workflow management
CMSs provide the facility to control how content is published, when it is published, and who publishes it. Some WCMSs allow administrators to set up rules for workflow management, guiding content managers through a series of steps required for each of their tasks. -
Good For SEO
CMS websites are also good for SEO. Freshness of content is one factor that helps, as it is believed that some search engines give preference to website with new and updated content than websites with stale and outdated content. Usage of social media plugins help in weaving a community around your blog. RSS feeds which are automatically generated by blogs or CMS websites can increase the number of subscribers and readers to your site. URL rewriting can be implemented easily which produces clean URLs without parameters which further help in SEO. There are plugins available that specifically help with website SEO.
