ASP.NET version of Joomla [closed]

Question

Does anyone ever found/used an ASP.NET application similar to Joomla?
I need to set up a quick and dirty CMS on a Windows Server and our client doesn't want us to use something else than ASP.NET.

Answer 1

I've been told by a friend that Umbraco is everything you would ever want in a CMS (and it was in the list that Nathan included in his answer). This recommendation is coming from a guy who's built several CMS solutions over the years and after taking a brief look at it, I think I'm going to try to push my clients towards using it over their current solutions.

Answer 2

DotNetNuke is quick to set up and get running. It is the best ASP.NET CMS that I have used.

It comes with many modules, and can be extended with numerous commercial and free 3rd party modules.

It is very easy to change to look of a DNN site by simply changing the assigned skin, and many 3rd party skins are available as well.

Warbeats.com runs on DNN, and handles quite a bit of traffic.

Answer 3

Community Server is a very well built CMS for ASP.NET, a free version is available.

Answer 4

Graffiti is Telligent's CMS (makers of the previously mentioned Community Server) and my be more appropriate depending on your requirements.

There are also many CMS projects on Codeplex.

Answer 5

I tried Graffiti and DotNetNuke and thought both were troublesome, then I tried Umbraco based on a recommendation from a friend and I love it! So much that I recommended it to Kooshmoose... I should also note that dasBlog is not a CMS, it's just blog software (which I use on my personal site and love, but it's not a CMS...)

Answer 6

Did you Look at DotNetNuke (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/) Its seems to be a good Systems to Start off as a base , But I doubt I could call it a Full CMS ? (Upto the users to decide)

Answer 7

MojoPortal might be worth a look into. Other than that, the list linked to by Nathan is well-worth looking into

Answer 8

umbraco gets my vote as a good CMS that comes close to Joomla in maturity and out of the box functionality. I'm not that fond of DNN, but it's been at least a year since I ran it thru its paces.

Answer 9

See also Oxite. It's an ASP.NET MVC Blog engine that you can use it for CMS.

Answer 10

If the concern isn't really about the ASP.Net language but about keeping a Windows server, you can use Joomla on IIS.

You can also check the list of CMSs on Microsoft's Web Platform
