CMS: Content Management System. Source of laughter and tears. Often used as a euphemism for Wordpress by clients, which itself is a euphemism for “I don’t want to pay for technology.” Using a CMS (aka Wordpress) for the wrong purpose often leads to a CMS in a CMS. A common misunderstanding with CMS is when a Content Management System replaces Content Management. Systems facilitate management. They do not replace it.
