Content management systems (CMS)
There are many content management systems (CMS) on the market, the majority of them are proprietary and are therefore likely to tie you in to a particular developer's solution. Chord9 has adopted an open source CMS known as DotNetNuke (DNN). DNN is based on Microsoft's ASP.net technology.
This site is built and maintained entirely within DNN,

The key characteristics of DNN are:
 |
Versatile: DotNetNuke is a Web Application Framework ideal for creating commercial web sites, corporate intranets and extranets, online publishing portals, and custom vertical applications.
|
|
User-friendly: DotNetNuke is designed to make it easy for users to manage all aspects of their projects without technical knowhow. Site wizards, help icons, and a well-researched user interface allow universal ease-of-operation.
|
|
Open Source: DotNetNuke is provided free, as open-source software. As such, you only need to pay Chord9 for the process of applying DNN to your particular application rather than the development of a complete high functionality system.
|
|
Supported: Due to its open source origins, DNN is continually developed and maintained by an extensive global community of developers. Therefore end users benefit from a process of continual improvement and innovation. Through user groups, online forums, resource portals and a network of companies who specialise in DNN, support is always close at hand.

|
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-on modules, third party functionality, and custom tools. |
