Welcome to the exploration of CMS applications using PushButtonCMS!
A CMS application is a platform designed to simplify the creation, management, and delivery of digital content on the web. Unlike traditional static websites, a CMS application offers a dynamic environment that allows for easy content manipulation and organization.
In the context of PushButtonCMS, an application usually composed of two distinct modules, each serving a specific purpose:
- Visitor-Facing Module: This module forms the public-facing aspect of the application. It caters to the audience visiting the website, offering a seamless and engaging experience. Content displayed here is accessible to all visitors.
- Registered/Privileged User Module: The second module operates as the secured section of the application, available to registered or privileged users. It encompasses functionalities and content reserved for specific user groups, providing a more tailored and comprehensive experience.
Within these modules, various additional files contribute to the application's functionality and appearance:
- Templates: Structured layouts defining the visual presentation of content.
- CSS and JavaScript Files: Style and interactivity enhancements for a richer user experience.
- Helper Libraries: Additional tools aiding in the development and customization of modules.
Understanding these fundamental components sets the stage for comprehending how PushButtonCMS empowers developers and users to create versatile, engaging, and secure CMS applications. In the upcoming chapters, we'll delve deeper into the technical aspects of building and managing these modules within PushButtonCMS.
