CMS – Content Management System

A content management system is a software that allows the eCommerce owners to create, manage and modify content on the website without any technical knowledge. Instead of building your own system for storing images and creating web pages, the content management system handles all the basic infrastructure stuff so that you can focus on more important areas of your business.

  • Purchase web hosting and a domain name
