Joomla! is a Content Management System
Joomla! is a Content Management System, also called a CMS for short.
A CMS is a system for managing website content, sometimes also referred to as a DYNAMIC website.
Reason: to distinguish it from a traditional STATIC website.
A traditional website is comprised of ONE part (a set of files).
On the other hand, a CMS is comprised of TWO parts (a set of files AND a database) each sitting on a separate server.
