100% in agreement. Very unlikely this beast will be slain anytime soon. The RoR and Node.js folk don't seem to believe in CMS systems ("Just create it again from scratch"), and there really isn't a comparable ASP.NET CMS worth installing.[1] [1] Yes, I know of Umbraco, Orchard, and DotNetNuke. Umbraco I'll put on the 'maybe' shelf, but when compared to WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, etc (very etc.) they're neither as easy to install, nor as complete/extensible. Plus the usual hosting price differences between Windows and Linux just make it worse.

on that page? If it doesn't need CRM, they're doing a pi... poor job at marketing it. Either way, at $595/month (or $10K/org), it would pay for a lot of WordPress/Joomla/whatnot customization.

hmmm. It wasn't that way when I was using it a few years ago. Hmmm, I take it back. :-O

Maybe you can link to the product you're referring to then, since both the ones I can find on their site specifically say they're for Dynamics.

Wow, I've seem big headers on web pages before but that's gone beyond a joke. Even on my Portrait mode, 1080x1920 monitor I have to scroll a whole darn screen to begin reading the article, all because some ejit thought I'd like to see part of a blue elephant (I suspect its cropped - can't be bothered to move it to another monitor to check) and a tiny picture of the author. Truly awful design.

They're channeling (possibly using, can't check from work) Bootstrap[^]; a web framework designed by scroll wheel vendors, RSI doctors, and metered internet providers to boost their revenue levels by requiring enormous amounts of scrolling to find any content.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Using, no - just checked myself. Channeling, definitely. :) That header graphic + Title text takes up exactly one full-screen maximized browser's worth of real estate on a 1920x1080 monitor. X|
It takes up one full screen on any monitor. At home it does on both my 2560x1600 and 1200x1600 screens; the latter just gets a heavily width cropped version. I didn't look closely enough to see if I was getting a ~1500px tall image, or if a smaller one was being stretched. Giant screens of graphical crap with only a few words of text are the standard bootstrap blight, which was why I suspected it was committing the same crime. Bootstrap's like powerpoint only without the ability to quickly and easily jump cleanly between slides. :((

To be fair to bootstrap, everything we've been discussing here is really the bootstrap "Hero Unit" component. I've used bootstrap on a half dozen internal web sites now, and have not once used the Hero Unit. I do like the navbar, tables, and tab containers, though.
