Dot Net Nuke

More free software – this is a magic way to run websites that are easy to maintain and POWERFULL.

Here is what DNN say about themselves on their website (www.dotnetnuke.com/)

DotNetNuke Is…

Versatile – DotNetNuke is an open source web application framework ideal for creating, deploying and managing interactive web, intranet and extranet sites.

User-Friendly – DotNetNuke is designed to make it easy for users to manage all aspects of their projects.  Site wizards, help icons, and a well-researched user interface allow universal ease-of-operation.

Powerful –  DotNetNuke can support multiple portals or sites off of one install.  In dividing administrative options between host level and individual portal level, DotNetNuke allows administrators to manage any number of sites – each with their own look and identity – all off one hosting account.

Feature-Rich – DotNetNuke comes loaded with a set of built-in tools that provide powerful pieces of functionality.  Site hosting, design, content, security, and membership options are easily managed and customized through these tools. 

Supported  - DotNetNuke is supported by its Core Team of developers and a dedicated  international community.  Through user groups, online forums, resource portals and a network of companies who specialize in DNN®, support is always close at hand.

Easily Installed – DotNetNuke can be up-and-running within minutes.  One must simply download the software from DotNetNuke.com, and follow the installation instructions.  In addition, many hosting companies offer free installation of the DotNetNuke application with their plans.

Localized – DotNetNuke includes a multi-language localization feature which allows administrators to easily translate their projects and portals into any language.  And with an international group of hosts and developers working with DotNetNuke, familiar support is always close at hand.

Open Source – DotNetNuke is provided free, as open-source software, and licensed under a standard BSD agreement. It allows individuals to do whatever they wish with the application framework, both commercially and non-commercially, with the simple requirement of giving credit back to the DotNetNuke project community.

Cutting-Edge - DotNetNuke provides users with an opportunity to learn best-practice development skills -- module creation, module packaging, debugging methods, etc -- all while utilizing cutting-edge technologies like ASP.NET 2.0, Visual Web Developer (VWD), Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express.

Extensible – DotNetNuke is able to create the most complex content management systems entirely with its built-in features, yet also allows administrators to work effectively with add-ons, third party assemblies, and custom tools.   Site customization and functionality are limitless.

Recognized – DotNetNuke is a trademarked name, and a brand widely recognized and respected in the open source community.  With over 340,000 registered users and a talented team of developers, DotNetNuke continues to evolve its software through participation, real world trial, and end-user feedback.


DotNetNuke is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET (VB .NET) platform.  The most recently released versions are 3.3 and 4.3.

 

Seriously, I know I rave on about technology, but this is seriously good stuff.

Re: Dot Net Nuke - More free software

Great - and many more grand sites like www.afl.com.au and nrl.com.au are also using DNN. However, you need to learn a bit more about the backend if you plan to maintain your site in the long term or perhaps migrate it to another server....
Current version is no 4.8.4, features are growing in numbers every few months!
