Content Management Solutions (CMS) are
platforms you can install on your web server that allow you to choose or
create a theme and begin adding content to your website.
CMS solutions are great for blogs, news sites, and basic corporate or informational websites where the intent is to have pages with mostly text, links and images on them.
For example Wordpress and Drupal are CMS platforms (Wordpress started off as a Blog platforms and has evolved into a CMS).
Also, some CMS solutions are more advanced and can do advanced websites they tend to be more specific and/or cost money.
In addition to basic text, links and images, most CMS solutions allow for additional plugins that allow Web 2.0 items to be embedded in the content area of a page or in the menu or sidebar.
By Web 2.0 I mean more advanced features that create dynamic content, like Google Maps or interactive content. Some of these things can be easily embedded without plugins depending on how easy the content creator has made it to embed.
Wordpress for instance has thousands of plugins.
Some plugins are not CMS specific. A good example would be Disqus, which lets you add comments to your website by adding a small amount of code to your html.
A web framework is just a software framework built to work on website code.
Frameworks can be in any language. Trying to mesh frameworks from different languages can be a challenge though. Usually, part of the framework code is built to work on the server side and is never seen by the client.
Frameworks are small to large size code packages that can be used to build websites more quickly. They can add a vast array of functionality to your site. Some examples are CakePHP, anything installed with NuGet for .Net, or Rails.
Finally, another way to look at it is that most CMS solutions, are web frameworks themselves. They are just on the larger end of the code base scale.
