Abstract

Content Management Systems (CMS) are getting more interesting and useful for many users, who wish to manage their own websites. This dissertation presents a system, based on the Django framework, which enables simple website setup and web content editing in the browser. It includes adding optional functionalities, written in Python, which provides complete control over the website appearance. Content Management System is intended for two groups of users, administrators and content managers. Administrator establishes, adjusts and manages basic structure, which is necessary for creating website and managing its content. Content manager adds, erases and manages web content. That doesn’t require the knowledge of web technologies and different markup languages, as the system offers built-in content editor. The web content is divided into static content, posts (news, articles...) and galleries. The biggest advantage of this system is being able to create a website and to add necessary functionalities directly through browser, without any use of other programming tools. To be able to do this, one needs knowledge of programming language Python and Django framework. The designed content management system is friendly for users as well as web page developers. In the process of testing we designed and created a website of the Laboratory for Computer Architecture, based on existing data, which are already published on the web.
