It means that you can edit your website by yourself without having to touch any files on the server. This means you don't have to speak or know techno babble or pay someone who knows how to think in techno babble to do stuff on your website.

 

All content is stored in a MySql database. Templates are used to serve the content using [markers] placed in the html design.

 

Almost everything about the website is created from information stored in the database. The navigation, file names, settings, content, image paths, ect.. are retrieved from the database to create and serve the webpage.

 

The file names are rewritten by a .htaccess file that sticks the variables into a query string that is used to query the database.

 

We're using php as the server language to connect to the MySql database.
