There are literally tens of millions of web sites that have been built using a Content Management System (CMS). Content management systems such as Wordpress, Joomla and Druple provide developers with the ability build highly customizable and functional web sites for their clients. The bonus of using a CMS is that every CMS comes with a pre-built web interface that gives the client the ability to add updated and delete the content on their web site without having to have knowledge of HTML/CSS. In this course students will learn how to build web sites that leverage the power of a CMS. The first step in the process is learning how to install and configure a CMS framework. Once the CMS is installed students will learn the core concepts of how to use the CMS framework to develop a web site. Having mastered how to use the CMS framework students then will adapt custom site designs and implement them as themes within the CMS framework. Finally the student will learn how to increase the functionality of the web sites they build by learning how to install and configure plug-ins and widgets built for CMS frameworks.
