Backend and Frontend

Submitted by Hagen Graf on 16. July 2010 - 16:52

Each content management system has a backend and a frontend.

  • The frontend is the real site, just like the user sees it. There, he can log in and then he sees the specific part of the site for him.
  • The backend is the part of employees. Here, the content is managed and the parameters of the site are set.

Depending on the system front- and backend can be clearly separated or combined. Here are a few examples with their standard templates.
