Check out the starter kits here: http://www.asp.net/community/projects/

Some of them are overkill for what you want, but all are good. I'd look at the club or business starter kits first for what you're describing. And the price is right. (free)

Although in all honesty , what you're describing can be done easily enough that a starter kit isn't even really necessary. You're talking about simple content pages for the most part, and this can be done in pure html.

Microsoft Web Platform might be interesting for you ( http://www.microsoft.com/web ) and specially a list of Content Management Systems at http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/Categories.aspx?category=ContentMgmt

thanks for the links. I'm wondering now if DotNetNuke is overkill for what I need or something worth pursueing. Anyone have any links to sample apps built with DotNetNuke? Is the 'show live sample' link on Davids aspnet link, it did not bring me to a sample website...

@dferraro, we're using DotNetNuke in one of our internal web sites. IMHO it's overkill for your situation. The learning curve is steepat first, but once you "get" the basics, then it's a breeze to work with.

Might add N2 cms to this list if you want something lightweight and are comfortable doing some coding.

There is a MVC version available I think.
