    CMS Recommendation

    Hey all,

    I'm looking for a recommendation for an open source or paid for CMS. The main requirement is that I have access to the code and can enhance it.

    It has to be written .net and would be great if it worked well with resource files for languages. Or had some kind of 3rd party integration that would allow easy management of resource files.

    The end result that I want to achieve is a CMS that would allow a designer to be able to create templates/layouts in and then drop on components/widgets created by a developer. It would be great if a translator could then pick up that page and update the associated resource files.

    I'm still evaluating Orchard, Umbraco and Python.net but if anyone has done something similar would be great if you could recommend a product. Or if you want to warn me off a CMS let me know.

    Cheers

          How about steer clear of... or this is the least bad?

            My problem is that I can't actually think of any that are that good... Most still use web forms instead of MVC....

              I understand Python.net and Orchard seem to use MVC - guess I'm just going to have to put in the work to evaluate them.

                Umbraco is sh1t

                How did it go?

                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.

                  Orchard is supported by the .NET Foundation, which is part of Microsoft. It's is Open Source and built on MVC.

                  So that's a good one to start with in your evaluation.

                    I've worked with Umbraco for years, can recommend it but it does put a constraint on MVC eg cant post a form back to the same controller.
