I specialise in Sitecore which is .NET based but fairly expensive and very restrictive licensing model. Its not easy to get hold of a developer edition and it is not open source. But its extremely extensible and ranks number one.

I don't think I've seen anything Opensource for enterprise that's worth the effort of dicking around with it, endless googling for answers only to find the 'answer' doesn't solve the issue because it was from some 15 year old kid pissing about with a Raspberry Pi...Comment

I'm in a similar situation and my team have been 'evaluating' Umbraco for a few weeks now. More like to get the darn thing to work but have reached a point where it seems to be more grief than just to do without a CMS.
A big issue I'm having is the designers are pumping out different designs or variations then the developers have to get them working in a responsive/adaptive website. The designs then have to work on hybrid iOS/Android apps with various screen sizes. Also, other websites themed differently use the same pages and on top of that multiple language support.
By pushing out the html/css work to the designers it reduces the load on the developers but may also curb the amount of "different" designs we have to implement. If the designers have to get their designs working with so many devices, screen sizes etc surely they will have less time to produce new designs
And by using say something like https://github.com/RickStrahl/Westwind.Globalization I could perhaps reduce the amount of time spent managing resource files.
So in the end a CMS may just be adding another layer of complexity.
If anyone else has managed to solve this let me know. I miss the days when I only had to deal with IE and fixed width designsLast edited by woohoo; 31 August 2016, 08:40.Comment

Away from .NET world, I had a look at WordPress v Joomla v Drupal. I've previously used Joomla and am now giving WordPress a spin. Drupal is far more technical than I'd like but is the most powerful; while it's not .NET, it could be something that you could pick up easily enough?The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
