Santa Clara, PA (prHWY.com) December 28, 2012 - A Web Content Management System (WCM) is a specialized content management systemfor creating and managing HTML content aimed at controlling content for a web site, usuallyimplemented as a web application.

A WCM system is used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of web material like HTMLdocuments, their associated images, documents for download and release, and the templatesassociated with rendering of the web site to users and more. The system facilitates content creation,content control, editing, and many essential web maintenance functions.

Usually a web content management application provides authoring and other tools designed to allow users with little or noknowledge of programming languages to create and manage content withrelative ease of use.

Most systems use a database to store content, metadata, and/or artifacts that might be neededto retrieve these documents from the system. Content is frequently, but not universally, stored as XML, to facilitate reuse andenable flexible presentation options. A presentation layer displays the content to regular web sitevisitors based on a set of templates. The templates are often XSLT files or based on a templatinglanguage such as Freemarker.

Unlike web site builders like Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver, a WCM allowsnon-technical users to make changes to an existing web site with little or no training. A WCMtypically requires an experienced developer to set up and add features, but is primarily a web sitemaintenance tool for non-technical administrators.

Alfresco as a leading WCM platform content production and content delivery modules.
