Content management system (CMS)

A CMS (content management system) is where you create, store, and manage your website's content, like images and copy, all in one place. A good CMS makes editing, publishing, and collaborating with a team noticeably smoother.

CMS platforms vary depending on their type and function, but here are some features they usually have in common:

• Web design — Templates and tools customize your website’s design faster
• Collaboration — Multiple users can work on or view content at the same time
• Storage — Important assets, including custom code and images, stay organized in a CMS
• Publishing — Schedule and publish content when it’s ready
• Content creation — Code editors or visual site builders let you customize web design
• Workflow system — Customizable editing permissions help you build a workflow process and control who can access content
• Scalability — A CMS can adapt to smaller projects or scale up to manage larger sites

Webflow’s CMS lets you publish a blog, manage pages, and choose a template that matches your design preferences. 

As a Collection grows, you can organize its fields into CMS field groups to keep large collections easier for editors to navigate.
