The Web Content Management System (WCMS) is a sophisticated tool that can be used to ease the entire process of web publishing. Through WCMS, the design and presentation of content on a web page is separated from the content creation process, as web pages and links can be dynamically generated from information held in a database maintained by the client’s staff.

Using WCMS, web developers can concentrate on the site structure, navigation, and look-and-feel of the site without having to worry about creating and maintaining content. The whole site remains consistent since information is drawn from the content database and plugged into web page templates created by the web developer. Different templates are designed for specific areas of a site; for example the layout of a news page may need to be different from the layout of a fact sheet page. A region map can be accessed by the user through links; when the user click on the areas of a map, updated information stored in the database appears. Templates can be designed to meet all required technical and accessibility standards.
