A content management system, or CMS, is the backbone of most of the websites you read on a daily basis. It's the interface through which all of the content you see on sites like this one is entered, organized, modified, and generally made accessible. Naturally, if you plan to design your own website one day, it's something you'll want to know how to manage.

The good news is that using popular CMSs like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal is largely free and easy. You don't need to be an expert coder to get something pretty and functional out of them. The bad news is that building that kind of site with them isn't immediately obvious.

StackSocial's Ultimate CMS Hacker Bundle should help with that, though. It includes seven Udemy-based courses that'll show you how to understand, navigate, and utilize the features of the three big-name platforms above.

As the world's most popular CMS, WordPress is the highlight here. You'll start off with the basics, learning how to properly format your content and use things like widgets and plug-ins, then move on to creating your own custom theme from scratch and giving yourself extra protection from potential security threats. If Joomla and Drupal are more your speed, other classes work in much the same way.

The Udemy classes normally range from $37 to $69 individually, but here the whole set is available for $35. If you've ever been curious in building your own site, or just seeing how some of the world's most popular sites function, have a look.Ultimate CMS Hacker Bundle, $34.99, available at StackSocial.
