Kentico Content Management System is a piece of software that allows users to update and maintain a website, without the need of any in-depth knowledge of coding.
Kentico 7 displays most of the tools users will use at a regular basis as soon as they log in, making the process of editing a site very easy from the beginning. Based on which view the user is in, even more site options can be edited in easy-to-understand ways: select the Administration tab allows site admins to adjust and modify user accounts and roles, and through the Tools tab users can access the site’s media library and form submissions.
