What is Content Management System (CMS)

It is software that is used to build websites and other online applications.

Here are some examples of what a content management system would be used for:

• Corporate websites or portals
• Online commerce
• Small business websites
• Non-profit and organizational websites
• Corporate intranets and extranets
• Community based websites such as schools
• Personal or family homepages
• Community-based portals such as forums.
• Magazines and newspapers

Apollo websites uses an open source framework to build all content management systems. We are a third party Joomla developer that builds in-house software using the Joomla framework. This means you are building on an open platform that does not tie you to any one developer or to a proprietary, closed application.

Using the core framework, we can easily build:

• Integrated e-commerce systems
• Inventory control systems
• Data reporting tools
• Custom product catalogues
• Complex business directories
• Reservation systems
• Communication tools

The application framework makes it possible to create powerful add-ons and extensions. Here are just some examples of the hundreds of available extensions:

• Dynamic form builders
• Business or organizational directories
• Document management image and multimedia galleries
• E-commerce and shopping cart engines
• Forums and chat software
• Calendars
• Blogging software Directory services
• Email newsletters
• Data collection and reporting tools
• Banner advertising systems
• Subscription services
