DotNetNuke is a development framework that enables businesses to quickly build and deploy feature-rich, interactive websites and applications in Microsoft environments. Through an intuitive, menu-driven interface, even non-technical users can use DotNetNuke to easily create new sites or extend the functionality and features of existing web applications.

With hundreds of thousands of portals, intranets, extranets, and public websites built on DotNetNuke—and an enthusiastic open-source community that is more than 600,000 strong and growing—DotNetNuke is the world’s most widely adopted framework for building web solutions on the Microsoft stack.

Using DotNetNuke is simple, but the result is a sophisticated website or application customized to solve specific business problems efficiently and cost effectively.

Within minutes of downloading and installing DotNetNuke, even users with zero programming experience can get started on a completely original, dynamic website, including:

• Creating new pages using pre-built content types (modules) like announcements, discussions, events, FAQs, feedback forms, and images.
• Defining membership roles, sending bulk emails, and establishing secure sections of the site for registered users only.
• Setting up banner advertising, customizing the site’s appearance, and submitting the site to search engines.

DotNetNuke gives businesses almost infinite flexibility in how they develop and deploy websites and applications. Businesses can create systems using the many features available with the core framework, or, because DotNetNuke is standards-based and open source, the core technology can easily be extended through a variety of add-on modules available from third-party vendors in the DotNetNuke Marketplace and users within the community.

Established in 2002, the DotNetNuke framework is an open source, community-driven project with hundreds of thousands production deployments and an active community of more than 600,000 users, developers, integrators, service providers, and software vendors. This thriving “ecosystem,” guided by DNN Corp., is continuously testing and improving the code base with an emphasis on simplicity, extensibility, flexibility, and stability. The result is a comprehensive, user-friendly framework for developing and managing mission-critical websites and applications that is augmented by a huge selection of complementary product modules, skinning technologies, and integration and hosting services.
