A Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress is a software application that allows users to build, modify, and manage a website without needing to write code from scratch. It provides a visual dashboard where you can upload media, format text, and change the design of your site dynamically, handling all the underlying code (like HTML, CSS, and database queries) automatically.

WordPress features Full Site Editing (FSE). Instead of standard text boxes, websites are built visually using modular structural "blocks". You can drag, drop, and style columns, images, text, and interactive elements directly on the page, seeing changes in real-time without needing third-party drag-and-drop page builders.
