Why I wrote my own CMS

    Ya, as I've mentioned on a few of my other threads :rolleyes:, I have written my own CMS in C# for ASP.NET.

    I'm one of those programmers that can actually do it, and I want to be in control of the overall application, knowing that when I build a client's web application I can integrate custom functionality that will fully mesh with the overall code.

    Sure there is the downside that right now I dont have extensions written by others, but I also dont have to worry about what direction the real coders of the CMS are going to do in the future.

    Also, I love C# and want to use that rather than PHP or some other development environment.

    Am I missing any question here? Or at least, do you have any demo to show.

    I think many of us do it. Sometimes you don't need even Drupal for a client.

    This is true of all applications though. Whenever I have an idea for a site or application I always write it down so I can *hopefully* find some time to sit down and program it later. This is not because I refuse to use open-source software, I just find it a lot easier to start from the absolute bottom and work up with applications, as you are able to support yourself on issues and have a lot more customization.

    I've also written CMS for my own purpose, but honestly only one person never can drive powerful CMS like wordpress for example :)

    Reminds me of the guys that insist on coding their own html. To each their own.
