So when I first started working with Content Management Systems (CMS) I started with Umbraco. Why? Well, the company was already running a Windows Server with lots of custom ASP. Yes, I know I can run PHP on a Windows Server but where is the fun in that. So now I have two CMS at my control that I can implement and use as portfolio pieces. Check out their website at eccseattle.org. It happens to be a church website and the design actually isn’t mine. One of the members of their congregation decided on that look. The backend of the website allows church administrators to login and make all their changes to the content without fussing up the design or get their hands dirty with code.
I will say this about Umbraco, I really do like the abstraction of code from content. I personally think it is done in a much more elegant way than Wordpress and PHP does it. However, there are so many nice tools already available for Wordpress and this is where Umbraco falls short. Of course you can wrap ASP.NET controls using macros, but wouldn’t it be nice if it was a one-click install like Wordpress?
Cheers
