CMS (or Content Management System) is a software designed to manage digital content (assets) — creation, editing, and distribution. CMS does not require code knowledge and allows users to create websites or web pages quickly.

The main purpose of any CMS is to build a digital asset for online presence by creating a fully-functional website with a unique domain.

What is the difference between CMSs?

Mainly, the purpose of the website you want to create with it. Some CMS offer pure site-building functionality, while others help you to create an online store with the ability to accept payments.
