Content Management System Tools

HTML (The language of the web)

CSS (Web Style)

Client-Side Scripting

Server-Side Scripting

Notice, CMS’s use the same tools that raw websites use. The only difference is that additional code (in the form of Server-Side Scripting) is provided (pre-packaged) which takes care of managing the look and feel of the website thereby allows the web developer the ability to focus on the data rather than the code.
