Looking for CMS (Content Management System)

[Tom]

Hi,

I am currently looking for a Content Management System for one of my project
in ASP.NET.

Here are the requirements:

* web based content management
* ability to enter content/fragment in a structured way (mixture of plain
text input fields, drop-downs, radio buttons and rich text fields)
* ability to personalise content entry forms (so select the input fields
relevant to each content type)
* support for multilingual content (base version in English)
* some .NET components/controls exposing the CMS data (fragments, attributes
etc) for creation of templates in ASP.NET
* some sort of asset library, to select and upload pictures
* some security model based on roles and users
* maximum $20,000 licence per site, can be limited number of content editors

No need for:
* checkin /check out
* versioning
* searching
* workflow

Unfortunatly, MS CMS is too expensive for this project ($24,000 per CPU).

I think we could build something like this ourselves with SQL server as a
repository, but I would appreciate if someone could point me to existing
packages, compatible with .NET.

Many thanks,
Sebastien

I've evaluated Titan [1] and you should too. Call (414) 365-3038 and ask for
Rick Fessenbecker.
It would be nice if you told Rick I referred you.

sounds like you could use one of the free portals from ms.

the community portal or the portal starter kit

It sounds like Empower by Activehead might fit your needs.

I'm not certain about the multi-lingual capabilities, but it is an
excellent tool. It is extensible so if it does not do what you need
natively, you, or Activehead can customize it.
