Simply the best CMS out there.by Sorenjuul on Dec 14 2011I love it.by Aboo on Dec 20 2010It's very strong, nice code, and easy to customize and extend and very fast.by likeno_another on Dec 19 2010Tried out a few of the CMS applications here, and this seems to kill the rest of them by far! I am working my way through getting C1 Certified! By Altissimo 7/22/2011 12:17:58 PM A fantastic app/CMS. It has great layering so you don't need to be an expert to start... and then as you build your knowledge can switch to more complex developer's languages like C#. Combine this with MVC, Razor and you have a cutting-edge ready to use platform that is simply a joy to work with.By bluemeansgo 5/1/2011 8:07:29 PM The best .NET CMS that I have seen !!! Nice to see it's possible to have a .Net CMS with all the basic functions (and more) but without the need to have expensive SQL hosting. Simple to use and to customize !by Redspider on Jan 25 at 6:46 PMAn excellent CMS and application platform. The beauty of it is the layering. It has items for all levels and as you learn it, more of the power opens up for you. From beginner to seasoned .Net professional, this CMS allows you full control of your angle brackets and enough power to fulfill even stringent demands. In addition, with the ability to run off XML or a database, it's easy to cheaply hostby atomiton on Apr 30 at 4:39 PMAn outstanding body of work. This is not a CMS... this is a web development platform. Outstanding extensibility and really well designed interface and architecture by a team who obviously care about making something right. Key features for me are MVC3 integration and the reflection/compilation + consistent interface programming model but it's a mod steep learning curve and requires full trust.by luappy13 on Apr 10 at 12:05 AMCompare to other existing Content Management Systems, Composite C1 uses the edge technology such as MVC2, LINQ, Workflow. It is easy to use for the site administrators and developers. Now Web - matrix, I just have to say well done CompositeC1 team, great job, great App.by Amir 1/13/2011I manually upgraded my 2.0 SP1 website to 2.1.1. - followed the upgrade guidelines and within 15 minutes everything worked perfect! That's the way how updates should work :-) Quality is the best description of C1 - and for me the most professional and flexible .NET Open Source CMS. by ThorstenH on Apr 8 at 9:41 PM Few months ago our team got a task to build a web site for certain customer. It was supposed to be small site, so we searched for something simple without database overkill as the backend... Then we found C1... Rest is history... But will be future... This is not only CSM, but framework/platform modular, easy to learn and stable. Our team has searched for a while to find CMS that does not overkill with database backend, but leaves this as an option.... Great.... Visual Editor is getting better and better... Just love v.2.1 and package creator...By moljac# 4/27/2011 12:28:32 AM "Mind blowing...."by praveennerd on Jun 8 2011

Is there something as easy as @CompositeC1 for PHP (with xslt)? Something died in me when I looked at how to build a #wordpress #theme.

Composite C1 - приятная штука (я нуб ваще). А Orchard - какое-то полярное (от одной крайности - к другой: машинка Лего с атомным реактором).

First and foremost it makes good sense to open up the source code of a .NET-based product, because there are already plenty of developer resources out there who will be able to carry the solution still further. That alone makes .NET an obvious choice as a developing platform in the open source context".
