N2 CMS

N2 is a lightweight CMS framework to help you build great web sites that anyone can update.

N2 is based on ASP.NET features such as membership providers and existing web controls sitemap.

It also introduces a number of data binding utilities designed to simplify the introduction of content onto the ASPX page template.

The edit interface is quite easy to use, even for the less technically savy.

The edit mode provides an overview in a tree pane and preview in another pane.

This mode enables complete administration of the web site without relying on the templates.

There is a mode where page parts can be dropped onto zones directly on the page. Existing parts can also be dragged around and sorted.

Content can be edited directly while navigating the site. Pages can also be created and deleted without entering edit mode. While this isn't as powerful as the edit mode it's an easy way to manage content.

Besides helping to edit and bind data to templates N2 also makes it very easy to define content and do stuff with it programmatically.

N2 allows separation between the model and the presentation. The database only contains content data. The model is defined in code using inheritance and attributes. The presentation is done using ASP.NET.
