Life Without CMS

In the past, the process of creating a relatively simple website could be quite laborious and complicated, even for websites with minimum requirements for visual appearance, navigational structure, and variety of content.

The programmers had to develop from the scratch the web pages, the website and the CMS for the website, leaving the following management task in the hands of the end user or the owner of the site.

For this process of website building, the software developers had to work with several technologies, mainly HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, to build even a relatively simple static website.
