Why use a CMS for a larger site?

There are many advantageous avenues to explore when you choose to use a Content Management System.  Especially in instances where a larger site is being built, a CMS is the best choice.

Content Management Systems are often chosen by organizations and other site developers that have larger sites because they were made to handle many pages and large amounts of information.  CMS are also handy for larger sites that require frequent updating. 

According to smashingmagazine.com , a CMS can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. This cuts out the middle man process that can involve grueling and lengthy outsourcing for updating their websites.  A CMS like WordPress, for instance, can be a breeze to update frequently. This also makes CMS popular amongst businesses and online stores, as they require constant updating.

Another advantage of CMS are their flexibility. According to the WordPress tutorial videos on  Lynda.com, "(WordPress) can be whatever you want it to be".  The flexibility provided amongst CMS (I'll just use WordPress for an example) provide organizations and developers with larger site a vast array of uses, making them a popular choice to manage large amounts of information.
