What is dotNetNuke?
DotNetNuke is a framework designed to simplify website creation and management. Since websites all contain the same basic components (Word content, graphic branding, links between pages, and special features), developers created frameworks to handle all this important work.
Of course websites are also unique. Any framework, worth the e-paper it’s coded on, must support uniqueness: customizations, branding, unique features, templates, etc.
We believe that dotNetNuke does all these things better than most any other framework. In addition, the dotNetNuke framework is free. That’s right, it’s free - coded by a team of developers who volunteer their time to make the web easier for everyone.
“But that doesn’t make any sense. Why give something away for free?”
To understand this question you must understand the mind of a developer. We get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. It’s no fun to create websites that all require the same basic components. We want to do unique and interesting work. Therefore a bunch of us got together and leveraged the power of the whole group. Through group contributions of 100s of volunteers, developers have created a solution that would require years for 1 developer to create.
DotNetNuke is extremely powerful.
Not only does it support the basic components of websites, but it also supports 100s of pre-built modules that provide cool features: i.e. weather, stock tickers, membership, contact lists, etc.
Now you’re probably wondering, “If it’s free then what does Trusted do for me?” Well nothing is entirely free because there is work involved. Yes you can acquire the dotNetNuke framework for free, but it takes time to implement and you have to find a web host who supports the framework. That is where we come in.
