CMS System to Support a Web App
-
All, I am just about complete with a web app I want to deploy. However, as with all web apps it needs a bunch of supporting text such as introductions, instruction videos, help files, blog, forums etc. It is an ASP.NET web app, and ideally I'd like something that meshes together (so your membership in the web app corresponds with your membership in the forums, for example.) What do people commonly use for a CMS in this situation? Do you have any experience with one, or more? Any recommendations? I'm thinking about a static tool like CityDesk, because the editing capabilities of web type apps is so lame, but could easily be convinced otherwise. Thanks.

I would have thought that this functionality should have been identified at the SOR and design stages. If you have built a web app, why didn't this element just get built in at the same time? Pretty much any CMS solution can be tailored to your needs, if you are using ASP.Net then maybe look at Drupal. Others like Joomla could be used with customisation.

The only CMS I know is CMS (Code Management System) for OpenVMS.

Umbraco. We use it at my work. It comes with a WYSIWYG editor for HTML fields. I guess the new one has razor support, but I'm still on the old version (ASP.Net user controls and XSLT controls).

Not familiar with the acronym SOR, however we do agile here, so all design decisions are not made up front. Thanks for the recommendation.

I don't suppose you are (or are related to) CrockerJ who taught at Wentworth?
