Sitecore is a Web-accessed, database-driven Content Management System (CMS) that allows users to create and edit academic and administrative Web sites at Drexel. By using page templates, CSS stylesheets, and reusable widget-like components, Sitecore ensures consistency across sites, which is especially useful when multiple people are managing Web content.
