Dot Net Nuke is an open source for creating web pages. You can download from http://www.dotnetnuke.com you need to register (is free) is very good for people without knowing programming. Is easy to install, and you manage from your web, as simply as that. Is like php-nuke. I hope this is helpful to you.

I personally have little experience using cms .. I only installed e107 one time at my other host. as I seen so far that cms is used for a package.. for example:

CMS
- Website Managing
- Forums Plugin
- Statistics Plugin
- Poll Plugin
- ETC

so then this is just something that lets you have everything in one dont u think?

I think that people are using cms where they should not. Pure html at half of sites in "showcase" section of dotnetnuke.com could be done with a pure html+css.

Content managemenet systems are for sites with CONTENT not for static sites (like company datasheets).

I see no point, except that you dont have to desing your site, since you can download templates and themes to use for free.

I prefer designin my sites myself.

I Would Design Sites Myself .. But I Kinda Quit Web Designing/Programming .. I Have Little CSS Knowledge And I Was Just Coding Stuff From Scratch .. I Heard The Dreamweaver And Photoshop Do The Job.

Hi guys!
Dotnetnuke is really a great portal frame work. It's built on the strong basis of ".Net" framework which makes it really safe. So far, it has done great. Easy template designing, easy module developing, user friendly back-end area and ....
Also, there is a site called "Snowcovered" which is a marketplace for developers and designers who want to sell their modules and skins. If you know ".Net", "CSS", "HTML" you can start earning money by producing your own stuff, just like me.

Hmm a new CMS? Don't we already have a bunch of them competing for our attention? I know a lot of people use CMSes but a lot more prefer designing their own sites so that they can proudly display something like "Powered by me!" instead of "Powered by a CMS".

As for those who don't know coding, CMSes are good indeed, but it would be a lot better if you learnt coding and did the work by yourself, as it would help you in the long run. Ha, look who's talking - I don't know much coding myself

Hi "The Simpleton"
Dotnetnuke is not new. It was built over on Microsoft "IBusSpy" in December 2002. IBuySpy was something like recent Microsoft starter-kits for learning the fundamentals of data-driven websites with the power of ASP.Net. Actually at first DotNetNuke was a modified version of IBuySpy which was called "IBuySpy Workshop.Then it was renamed to "IBuySpy WorkShop Christmas Eve" and finally got under the hood with its current name, DotNetNuke (DNN).
By the way, I my self am a professional web programmer with years of experience. These days I use Dotnetnuke as my framework and then instead of programming the basics, I use my time for developing quality modules and themes.
If anyone needs more information on this framework, I am here.
