The Website Builder application available for Odoo 12 is commonly known as a CMS. A CMS is a collection of tools that allows you to structure, organize, and manipulate your website without having to interact directly with the inner workings of your website. A key feature of a CMS is the ability for non-programmers and those with little technical expertise to create and edit content on the website once the initial structure of the site has been designed.
