    Time to learn how the internets works kid.

    A CMS is just an application that lets you manage content. It could potentially be created to work with any kind of language or technology. It allows you to store your content in a database and manage it in an online UI independent of your layout/ design. It would then dynamically construct the site for the end user using PHP or some other means.

    Mentioning CSS and JQuery is a bit odd since every website uses CSS. CSS is just a file linked in the head of the document which tells it how to look. It's completely independent from the workings of the CMS which constructs the actual, unstyled pages. JQuery to add animations or whatever is equally trivial to add to any webpage regardless of the way in which it was produced, since it is only doing it's thing on the client side.

    As far as AJAX, that is a bit more difficult, since that would directly interface with the CMS code. However, I've successfully integrated AJAX into both Wordpress and Expression Engine, and I'm not even a developer, so it can't be that hard to figure out;)
