Sitefinity News & Articles

Today, web content management provider Telerik releases the next update to Sitefinity Web CMS, this time with a focus on easier administration to get your websites up and running quickly.

Telerik has released version 4.3 of its Sitefinity .NET Web content management system. And like we expected, there are more capabilities to support the online customer experience.

We've long considered Web CMS vendors like Sitecore and Ektron to be mid-market players. And to some extent they still are. But with the evolution of web content management towards customer experience management has come a shift in the .NET Web CMS vendor landscape. Here's a look at where the players are today.

Telerik, maker of the Sitefinity .NET Web CMS, has announced release 4.2 of the product. Despite what the press release says, it's all about content and commerce -- not customer experience. The essentials. How refreshing.

The latest release of Telerik's (news, site)  web content management system Sitefinity is now supporting Windows Azure and touts a number of performance enhancements to boot.

Telerik (news, site) has officially launched the latest version of its web content management system, Sitefinity, today. With a completely redesigned architecture, there are a number of improvements, not the least of which include advanced workflow and new e-Commerce capabilities.

The latest release of Sitefinity Web CMS (news, site) -- 4.0. beta -- adds productivity and ease of use improvements, plus an SDK as part of a ground-up rebuild of the ASP.NET CMS.

Telerik (news, site) has announced a CTP release of its web content management system Sitefinity 4.0. A quick review of its features tells us there are a lot of changes coming in this new release. 

Maybe it is because Telerik (news, site) is finding Europe too small, or because there just isn’t enough business in Europe with all the purse-tightening that is going on. Whatever the reason, the Bulgaria-based company has announced it is expanding operations in  Massachusetts and opening a new office in Texas.

In addition to the new offices, the company has also announced that it is launching a new marketplace for add-ons for its Sitefinity ASP.NET Web CMS.

Microsoft has just released the latest version of their Web Platform Installer and Web Application Gallery.

The beta for version 2 has been out since March, adding a community version of PHP and ASP.NET MVC 1 to an already full list of applications. New web applications that could be downloaded included Umbraco and Silverstripe Web CMS.

With today's release of the WPI, you will also get the Windows Azure SDK to get you started on those cloud-based applications and the IIS Media Pack.

Some of the latest additions to the Web Application Gallery include learning management system Moodle, Sitefinity web content management and Kentico Web CMS among many others.

If you were nervous about installing the beta version of WPI 2, you don't have to wait any longer. This is definitely an easy way to get your development environment up and running and a version of your favorite open source Web CMS to start developing your web applications.

Telerik (news, site) launched a new site to highlight the power, flexibility and compatibility of its ASP/.NET-based content management system.

The best advertising for any product is to see it in use, which is why Telerik's showcase site looks pretty slick and features a gallery of about 375 real-world examples of Sitefinity CMS in use.

This Web CMS offers Silverlight tools and controls, and .NET reporting and management, which gives it wide appeal.

Perhaps, Telerik chose now to show off as it is starting to face a lot of competition with the open source, .NET-based Umbraco CMS proving itself in the market and Kentico with its new release due any day now.

Packed with a Flash tour, demonstration admin interface and a long list of awards, there is plenty of self-congratulation but also a decent guide to the systems behind the site.

There are also separate pages for business users and IT developers highlighting how those groups could benefit from deploying Sitefinitiy.

The start of summer seems an odd choice to start doling out awards (isn't that usually January/February?) but it hasn't stopped asp.netPRO from counting the votes in its 2009 Readers' Choice awards. It was the winner of the Best CMS that made us stop and pay attention.

Umbraco is one of a few open source .NET web content management solutions on the market today, but it isn't the only one. DotNetNuke (news, site) is another popular open source solution for the Microsoft community and they have the stats to prove it.

In October of last year Sitefinity announced version 3.5 of the .NET built web content management solution. That new version was built for optimal performance among other new features and enhancements. With the increasing amount of content that needs be available to a global audience, performance issues are certainly a primary concern for organizations.

That is why Telerik has choosen to not only provide performance optimization within its content management system, but they have also announced the integration of Sitefinity with Amazon S3 for cloud-based storage.

Telerik has just rolled out the latest version of Sitefinity, their light weight ASP.NET web content management system.

In version 3.6 of Sitefinity CMS developers will see a new backend architecture and a new API for improved extensibility. On top of this there is a number of other cool enhancements that made us dizzy with excitement. According to the company, the goal of 3.6 is to "empower developers to tweak every aspect of the core system." We'd say they're getting close. Let's take a peek.
