Gulp! The Mechanics had gnawed and chewed over which language to build our CMS platform on. After a few dust ups round the kennels the top dog strutted forth as the .NET 3.5 Framework - utilising Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX, combined with jQuery to provide maximum usability and functionality. Could this be the ideal CMS for our own website?
The facts are we had been chasing the .NET platform since VB days and as soon as we switched to Peroni it hit us in the C#. A dozen or so versions of our CMS later and our DM_CMS 2.7 is a flier. And it keeps winning over large, medium and small size clients. Talk to us!
The design of our new site had been sitting around for a while because we seriously do worry about our clients' front and back-ends. And making time to add the layers of XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, not too mention the copy that the head Mechanic was always too busy to nut out. Enough! Finally it is up and out there. A dogged effort for sure.
Please send all comments to the head Mechanic who will bark at the top dog alias web guru. Somebody needs to feed this dude the truth about whether eating your own dogfood is a good idea.
