ASP.NET Web Foundations

If ever I need to build a website in a day I checkout these Web Foundations as a starting block.

These foundations allow me to very quickly build simple sites that provide my clients with the ability to click an edit button and get write access to the text on their websites. I find it cleaner and simpler than more comprehensive solutions like Macromedia Contribute or DotNetNuke. Its also great for inexpensive hosting as there are no Database requirements.

Its basically an XML Content Management System. It uses the Spring URL Rewriting library for search-engine URL's. FCKEditor provides the WYSIWYG and a C# port of HTML tidy is employed to sanitise users text.

I've also built a Lightbox Image Gallery that consumes Picasa generated XML. This is included as a control so it's really easy to drop on any page.

It's all build on ASP.Net Master Pages so its familiar and easy to extend.
