Answer # 1

Advantage to use CMS:

User-friendliness

Quick deployment

Ease of maintenance, including updates

Cost-efficiency, especially with out-the-box solutions, open source or freeware

Extendable functionality, through a large number of plugins and extensions

SEO-friendly features

Developer and community support

One of the main advantages of CMS is that it enables non-technically minded users to create functional
pages or upload and modify content themselves, without having to outsource the work to a web developer
or understand programming languages such as HTML or PHP.
