I may have a need to create a new site using a CMS. There aren't that many good low-cost CMS solutions out there for .Net, which is my specialty. Pretty much DotNetNuke and then a bunch of also-rans.
I am considering ExpressionEngine because it seems like a piece of cake to set up without the hacking or modification headaches that seem to be a part of the Drupal and Joomla threads I read. I'm not opposed to diving into PHP coding (I'm proficient with MySQL), I just don't have the time right now. So, I need a CMS that I cn bring up rather quickly and buy me some time to learn the PHP that I might need to in the future.
I'm looking for these features:
- photo galleries
- blog
- forum
- possibly eCommerce integration if all goes well and we see an opportunity
- out-of-the-box on-page SEO readiness
Anybody out there have any thoughts or other suggestions for a CMS?
