Technolgies we are planning to use ASP.NET 3.5 and SQL 2005 or SQL 2008

The best open source ASP.Net CMS i have used is Umbraco. It is easy to use and set up. Quick to restyle to your own HTML template and can be extended using XSLT for simple things and C# is there for the more complex this you want to do.

The website with more details is available at: Umbraco

The Main features are:

For Editors

  • Beautiful, user-friendly interface
  • Integrated WYSIWYG Editor
  • Support for editing in Microsoft Word
  • Versioned and scheduled publishing

  • Full support for own .NET Controls
  • Documented API
  • Use any .NET Language like c# or VB.NET
  • Full source code available (open source)

For Designers

  • No limits to design
  • Super simple template engine - based on ASP.Net Master Pages
  • Full support for web standards
  • Full support for accessibility standards

Isn't this XSLT-based? I mean, there's no DB, correct?

You can choose to use SQL Server 2005 for storage.

I am looking for free software.
The core software is Open Source so you can use it for free - the download is available on CodePlex (http://umbraco.codeplex.com/). They also sell a pro version with commercial support should you need it.

Check out N2CMS also.

It is also highly regarded as an opensource ASP.NET CMS.
