It is a good idea to see how a content management system (cms) works .
But it might not be a good idea to create your own content management system just for the purpose of creating your own website because there are already high quality cms like joomla and wordpress which provide us with various tools for making rich and professional websites and if you think of creating your own cms just for this purpose you are actually wasting your time because you are doing which already has been done .
Once you have learned about the working of content management sytem you can do stuff like
- Creating your own plugins for a cms like joomla or wordpress
- Creating your own template for a cms
- Creating components that integrate cms with other services like facebook etc.
