The
Orchard Team launched a new version of
Orchard CMS this week. It comes with many bug fixes and improvements from the 1.0 release. You can download it
here.
Orchard is an open source CMS developed by a team of developers at Microsoft using .NET, MVC3, and Razr Templates. Currently Cloud Construct is using Orchard to build sites for clients who require the ability to add/update pages, incorporate blogs, and add new widgets easily to their sites. The Orchard platform is very extensible and allows for many extensions points from the "out of the box" solution. It is built on themes, modules, and widgets which you can customize yourself.
The open source aspect of Orchard is excellent because you can easily add and share modules through their
gallery. Also upgrading from version 1.0 to 1.1 was pretty simple as well. Although the footprint of the CMS is quite large, the ability to manipulate this system is very powerful and I see it being a great product. And always it can be hosted in Windows Azure which is great as well.
