.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / February 2008Free content management systems for ASP.NET?
Hello, Anyone able to recommend a free CMS for ASP.NET 2.0? I am interested in being able to build a site with articles, pictures, videos, etc. I have looked around and seen a few, but I have no idea of their relative merits. The ones that seem to stick out are Umbraco, DotNetNuke and Community Server. Anyone any experience of these? Of the three, only DNN seems to be completely free (unless I missed something). The other two have free editions, but they have limitations. Any comments on these, or any others? TIA  SignatureAlan Silver (anything added below this line is nothing to do with me) Your list sounds pretty accurate for the top 3. For something much simpler, you can try the "My Web Pages Starter Kit" which can be found on codeplex.com -- Peter Site: http://www.eggheadcafe.com UnBlog: http://petesbloggerama.blogspot.com MetaFinder: http://www.blogmetafinder.com > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > TIA >Your list sounds pretty accurate for the top 3.

If you ever need to deviate from the defaults, even slightly, you have to jump through so many hoops that it's almost not worth bothering with... From what I've seen of Umbraco, it's fairly cumbersome... And, something which may be of concern to you, is that it seems to be written by a couple of guys in their spare time...

Kinda like MS-DOS? ;) >> I have looked around and seen a few, but I have no idea of their >>relative merits.

Yeah, I seem to remember having that feeling with one of the starter kits MS produced to introduce people to ASP.NET. I gave up with it fairly quickly ;-) Still, I may have a look and see what it does. My requirements for this job are fairly vanilla, so it may do. I could do with something that will get me up and running quickly. >From what I've seen of Umbraco, it's fairly cumbersome...

That's an amazing system for free! It looks like a nightmare to get installed though ;-( Have you used this system? I'm wondering what you thought of it. Thanks for the link. I can see this will require some time for investigation.
