I'm looking more towards CMS's as I'd like my clients to be able to be as self sufficient as possible. Anyhow, I'm just starting to evaluate and will update this with my conclusions. However, since I'm starting with evaluating Umbraco first, I'd like to get a consensus.
I have no preference for C# or Vb.Net. so I'm open to either.
Umbraco is a very scalable CMS platform and is particularly great for managing large numbers of pages (particularly from a content administrator perspective). As mentioned it's also very developer friendly, which allows for a lot of freedom when developing integrations with third party tools from scratch.
As Damon mentioned in his previous response, umbraco is really easy to use. You can choose either make use of XSLT or Razor c# to make this the way you want to.
Umbraco is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) that allows you to build beautiful, responsive websites and data-driven apps which can be accessed from any device or browser.
Umbraco itself is a highly secure system. The way the CMS is built up means it is very easy to use from a web administrator's point of view. Umbraco comes with a vast array of core features meaning much less risk of having to rely on third party plugins.
Umbraco CMS is a very flexible CMS. The core code of the product is written in C# but really you should never have to read into the source of Umbraco as its so eay to extend.
You can use .NET masterpages in V4 of Umbraco along with .NET usercontrols written in VB or C# which ever you prefer.
I recommend you take a look and let me know what you think.
