Website and technology
A CMS is the system you use to manage your website's content without programming: pages, copy, images and menus.
Well-known examples are WordPress, Webflow and Shopify (for shops). The choice depends on who maintains it, how much custom work you need and which integrations you want.
Look beyond build cost: maintenance, updates, security and whether you can add a page yourself determine what a system costs you over three years.
