VWD-CMS is an ASP.NET 2.0 content management system built with developers in mind - based on the belief that using a CMS should not limit a developer's ability to fully customize a website. Content is stored in XML files which means that simple sites can be created without requiring SQL Server. Most websites will need user registration and management which is provided by ASP.NET Membership services and these features require SQL Server. VWD-CMS provides basic tools for managing member notification subscriptions and sending email notifications. VWD-CMS Forums provides blog style forums so site members can participate in discussions.
