This Content Management System (CMS) is completely written in C# 2.0 and has SQL Server 2000 as its back end. The CMS is completely web based, meaning that all of its futures are accessible via a web browser. The system has the ability to manage multiple sites, using role management for security and has versioning functionality for both web pages and documents. By separating the content from the design it is easy to create or alter the design for the entire website. Mark started this project because he wanted a way to manage his own websites and wanted to start using C#. Mark has his own Windows Server 2008 connected in Amsterdam to host this CMS and other projects.
