The fundamental benefit of a quality CMS such as DotNetNuke® is that it effectively divides web-based content resources (websites, Intranets, etc.) into three separate yet closely related major components: design (look & feel, navigation), technical/functional structure (how it works, what it does), and content (what it displays). The division of these three major components enables many advantages throughout the life cycle of a web-based content resource. 

With a quality CMS, any major component can be created, recreated, cloned, adjusted, enhanced, updated, and maintained independently of the other two components. So changes of any nature or magnitude to one component do not disrupt or negatively impact the other two components. Certain specific technology skills and experience are required to define, develop, implement, host, and maintain quality CMS solutions. But division of the three major components dramatically streamlines and adds great efficiency, effectiveness, and overall value to the CMS solution.

This adds tremendous practical value when it comes to websites and web-based content resources. Part or all of the design can be completely reworked without the need for any adjustments to the technical/functional structure or content. Likewise, the technical/functional structure can be adjusted to add or enhance capabilities with no changes required to the design or content. Content can be changed with no impact on the design or technical/functional structure. 

Content production without programming or design skills: A CMS provides a web-based graphical user interface that allows the editor to create and edit content, add images and multimedia files, create content schedules, and much more. Anybody with a web browser, an average knowledge of word processing, and secure access to the CMS can create, edit, and manage content. No HTML or programming knowledge, or special software tools or utilities are required.
