However, recent technological advances in mobile, as well as the surge in traffic, have instilled the notion that the team needs to be designing mobile-first, and to do so requires a different approach.

Content management system is a procedural system that determines how work flows in any given work environment. With reference to the web environment, content management system may be limited to the creation, control, storage and deployment of individual contents on a given web page.
