Hey there,

Depends on the requirements.

 Is eCommerce functionality required?

 How extensible do you need it to be?

Sitefinity...

 http://www.sitefinity.com/

...is also very good.

Thanks,

Hey,

Unfortunately, the PHP world rules when it comes to CMSs. Joomla and Drupal are constantly competing for top spot. Both have a wide variety of themes, addons, etc... The only down side is they are both written in PHP.

I looked about a year ago and Joomla had just pipped Drupal and won an award for being the top Open Source CMS (in any language). 

Cheers

Hiya

Yes, eCommerce is required and it does need to be fairly extensible, considering we have a wide variety of clients.

Thanks much,

Hey again,

If you are wanting to base it on a CMS and if .NET is a requirement then I would go with SiteFinity and then customise it. DotNetNuke has been around longer, but SF is our current CMS of choice and we are actually wanting to use it for an upcoming eCommerce project.

Depending on the complexity of your eCommerce requirements, you can go about creating your shopping carts, payment processing, back end functionality (catalogue, order etc management) yourself, but I would also have a look at...
