Website Builder vs. Content Management System (CMS): Which One Do You Need?
If you’re researching how to create a website, you’ve probably come across the terms “website builder” and “CMS” (Content Management System). Many people think a website builder and a CMS are completely different - and in the way these terms are used in marketing, they usually are.
