I am developing a website that will have content rotator in one of the pages. The only dynamic part of the website will be the news part. I want to add a content management page for the news. The news items will be edited by the user and will be published. The rest of the website wont be affected.
There are many free content sliders but unfortunately none of the ones i found has a content management system. I am developing the website in asp .net. I dont want to use a very big content management system for such a small job. Is there any free or commercial with a small price product that can fullfil my requirements ?
Thanks
Yes, you can find via my profile link that I made for programmers. There are other great ones too like Page Lime which is great for designers. You could try some open source ones for ASP.NET like Orchard CMS or DotNetNuke. It all depends on your comfort level. I do prefer the cloud ones myself but I'm a bit impartial as I hate installing things and having to learn frameworks.

Lets say that my customer is a blogger and wants to make daily blogs. So that means she needs a way to add new pages in the CMS. I dont want a customer to do technically stuff obviously. It needs to be as easy as it can get.
And I heard that drupal is a great CMS. So i'm open for that adventure. But before I take that road, I'm wondering if this is possible to do in a drupal CMS?
I'm new to drupal and to its CMS. So I don't know which version to take. Or anything at all. So I want to know for sure if this is possible before I spent hours and it isn't possible.
IF there is another cms you recommend, you can mention it. I'm open for suggestions.
The term CMS itself says that the purpose of this type of software is to manage content - exactly what you're looking for. So Drupal or any other CMS also provides the ability to create blogs and easy-to-use administrator features.
About Drupal, it is a powerful and flexible CMS, suitable for creating many complex features as well as scalability. If you just need a lightweight blogs page with basic features like content CRUD, you can take a look at Wordpress.
If you choose Drupal, I recommend using the latest version (Drupal 9) for the long-term support.
We are planning to create an asp.net website (probably mvc), that needs a cms for news items.
Our content managers and others who require to publish news have asked if they can use wordpress for content management.
Our users have different roles, and news items should be visible to certain roles, or even specific users if possible.
The reason they want wordpress is the manager's user friendliness, so if some other alternative with the same kind of user experience would be ok.
Could anyone please point me in some direction?
NOTE: I'm still doing research at the moment, so I've got nothing holding me back at this point.
There is an API plugin that has been developed to spit out information in JSON, but I have not actually implemented a site with it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
Perhaps you could have the authors work on a wordpress install and create your app to draw content via that plugin?
I too was facing the same issue, little different. We want to have WP as CMS so that our site can take the benefit of SEO which is very easy with WP. SO we installed WP under a folder in the Main ASP.net based website. Initially there were issues, I was unable to run it. Finally managed to run it. Solution is posted here - http://www.wwwlabz.com/how-to-run-a-php-based-website-from-a-subfolder-in-asp-net-website. Hope it will help someone. Actual site where we implemented this is http://www.periproperties.com/content/.
Now I want to have specific section of WP to be accessible on my site. SO I am exploring different options and will post, if found something
Thanks.
DotNetNuke is the most popular ASP.NET based CMS (source). I am implementing my first project in it and so far I am very happy with it.
Note the free edition will not work for you since you need customizable security roles and free has a limited set of predetermined roles. You'll need the pro edition.
I don't know how similar it is to WordPress. Overall, WordPress is much more popular but of course there are platform issues with WordPress since it is Apache based and you want to create an ASP.NET website.
I'm designing a simple website for a friend - four static pages to advertise a yoga retreat she is running. I have a couple of requirements:
My time is short; I want to quickly build a theme template.
She has no technical skills; she wants to log in to the backend and update page content.
Working for myself, a static site builder such as nanoc or jekyll would be ideal: I can build a template.html with room for some content, then update content files, rebuild the site and redeploy. As a bonus, the whole site could be hosted free on GitHub pages. This satisfies requirement (1) but not requirement (2).
I've also considered Wordpress, because I've got plenty of experience running WP sites and developing custom themes. This satisfies requirement (2) but not (1). There is simply too much development overhead building a WP theme - it is not straightforward to modify the markup structure of all those template files, and there are plenty of snags involving ugly page titles or "Comments are disabled" strings which need to be removed.
It shouldn't be this difficult. I want a site engine which has a simple template.html file for easy re-theming, and an accessible backend for content changes. Bonus points if free hosting is available somewhere.
Perch - http://www.grabaperch.com - is made for this sort of thing, though it's not free (£).
Could you hack a site together using tumblr pages?
What about Google Sites? Dead simple.
If you're open to .NET i think you should look at n2cms.
WordPress using a premium theme bought in any of the many sites offering quite nice themes for a reasonable price (60 USD). Then, you just change the logo and ready to go.
Since I'm not a web designer myself, this is what I´ve done myself for my sites and I´m quite happy with the results
I am working on a project for a client that started out as a simple CMS with pages, posts, and a directory. The client is constantly expanding the scope of this project with requirements for customization of just about everything. As a single developer, I am having trouble keeping up with the clients time-table. I have googled for software packages that might already exist that proved the features my client needs but I have not found anything. Does anyone know of any pre-built software that allows for the following customization or at least better words to describe this type of package?
Here are some examples of the customization that is requested:
A page or directory listing needs to be formatted from an admin-defined template. Within this template there needs to be admin-defined sections that contain admin-defined data types. (This is so the look and feel of the site can be maintained while users can easily build content, add listings, and etc.)
Advertising-tiles need to be able to be defined and populated globally and at page level.
All user generated content, pages, posts, and directory listings need to be associated with user and have flexibility to show all other user generated content for inter-linking between same users content.
Site would need billing/e-commerce system for premium listings, premium posts, advertising tiles, and etc.
Approval system for all user added or edited content (pages, posts, directory listings, etc.)
(asp.net and mvc are definitely preferable)
Site would need billing/e-commerce system
This is the number one reason you should not roll your own. Find an established CMS and take the time to learn to use it.
My dear friend, I've read your question & I may suggest that you should try some open-source CMS software with your own which can generate, display admin-generated templates & other stuffs. You should use the
Pre-bulit CMS software for keeping track of pages.
Your own small customized cms for maintaining templates.
osCommerce (open-source) for eCommerce support.
I've not had a change to use it, and I'm not sure if it will provide for you all of your demands or not, but I've heard a lot of great things about the project. Have you tried the open source project Drupal?

Take a look at Plone (http://plone.org/), I think it fits perfectly for your needs.
Plone lets non-technical people create
and maintain information for a public
website or an intranet using only a
web browser. Plone is easy to
understand and use — allowing users to
be productive in just half an
hour — yet offers a wealth of
community-developed add-ons and
extensibility to keep meeting your
needs for years to come. "
For those looking these days and who want / need WordPress you can use Woffice (https://woffice.io/) or Thrive. Both have all these features.
