ElenaSoterakis.com 2.0
I'd been searching a while now for a decent tool to build websites upon. Something that has basic CMS functions was all I wanted, but of course I wanted that as C#, open source, with a MS SQL backend. Even harder to find was something with internal workings that I could appreciate. I finally found this in Community Server, at the same moment Elena came asking for more than just a static site.
Yesterday I put a completely reworked version of ElenaSoterakis.com in production. We built a skin on top of a Community Server site, modelled against the original static design. A CS skin consists of mostly customized CSS and ASPX files. Each ASPX corresponds to one of many custom (often composite) controls in a large hierarchy. The amount you can customize a site's looks this way without touching any of the underlying C# is amazing. The design of CS is great example of the separation of presentation and business logic in ASP.NET.
Let's take a look at the old:
