First, some context…
How many of you build .NET sites from scratch?Using Visual Studio, MVC, WebForms, etc.
How many of you start from an existing app/solution and customize it?We find this is an increasing trend among Web professionals…Over two-thirds of Internet-facing Websites are small-medium businesses, with lots of common features/behaviorMost of these sites are built starting from open source appsProductivity is most important consideration for Web pros/consultants

Spreading the word, raising awarenessFinding partners and contributorsChanneling feedback to the product team
Hi Bradley -- I’m Software Development Manager at Bath Spa University in the UK. I wanted to share our experience
of Orchard with you as we’ve been using it since Christmas and are just about to release our first production system. We decided to take the risk of using an unreleased version of your code as we’ve been so impressed with the functionality and quality of the code written. We already use MVC and were easily able to integrate our code modules. Orchard has revolutionised the way we develop and empowers our support staff to make their own changes.
Thanks to you and your team for an excellent product, can’t wait to see how it develops in the future.
I’ll let you know how our student accommodation system pans out when we go live in May RegardsKeith DanceyBath Spa UniversityPRINCE2 PractitionerISEB Certified Business Analyst
