Web Content Management System
Web Content Management (WCM) refers to the practice of managing websites (layout, navigation, look and feel) as well as the content on it (text, images, videos and so on).聽
WCM systems have been designed to do exactly this and can be seen as a specialized version of Content Management Systems (CMS). Sometimes the terms are used interchangeably, since most CMS鈥 focus on managing web content.聽
Over the years WCMs have evolved from purely managing websites to managing the 鈥楧igital Experience鈥 (DX), which covers a broader range of digital channels (such as mobile sites, kiosks, and in-store displays to name but a few). Also, it usually covers additional features such as personalization, A/B testing, analytics and more.
