What can a CMS do to save time?
I need to build a quick website which has a back-end database where the content will reside for the primary web page.
I have to have as much as thousands of lines of text and hundreds of images, but 99% will be hidden on page load. I will use an AngularJS Accordion so the content for a region is only needed when the user opens that section. So I plan to load that asynchronously.
So, this gets a bit tricky to manage and I thought maybe a CMS is the solution.
I do not want to spend time building what's already been built. I can code but want to keep that to a minimum, so I can improve my content and the styling and behavior of the web pages.
Suggestions?
I am an ASP.NET developer, but tend to prefer NodeJS and MySQL for this kind of project.
But I would consider any technology at this point, if it is quick to implement and cheap (or free).

True, if the user never opens a section, yet I loaded every one via AJAX, it creates a ton of work for nothing.
That makes everything much easier to program.
I guess I do not even need to use an Accordion to hide this stuff, I could instead use buttons. Then all I need to do is render the data on the page which I open up.
Is this what you are suggesting? I love this idea since it makes everything so much easier to code...
Thanks

I will of course give a user click the highest priority, in the event that particular section has no loaded yet.
What is wrong with this plan?
Would using a CMS prevent me from using this paradigm? If so, I may need to stick to a custom solution.
