I don't think CMS means what you think it means ... You have to manually edit files and code to do things. And that's fine - that's how my website is run too.

I don't think CMS means what you think it means ... You have to manually edit files and code to do things. And that's fine - that's how my website is run too. But that isn't a CMS. A CMS provides a pretty interface for everything content managers need to do. It allows non-technical people to publish, edit, and collaborate. It has a publishing system so modifications can be approved before being pushed live (which in turn implies an access control system).
