The back end of this rather simple and easy to use website is a quite sophisticated content managements system. Content is stored in a database and served via the web using various tools. Data that is updated within the content management system is automatically and instantly available on the web site.

Data can be extracted from any source including layout applications such as Quark and InDesign, and posted instantly within the content management system with little to no effort. This can be used for both text and images!

Why is this relevant?

It may be interesting to talk about how technology can be used, but it is more useful to actually show practical working examples. This site is an example of a live content management system at work.
