Over several years I have left behind me many DNN web sites created for large organistaions and individuals. These were projects comprising migrations from large Joomla sites to small portals created from scratch. I ahve written several custom modules and extensive skinning was done for every project. I would rate DNN significantly higher 3 or 4 years ago than today and would recommend it as CMS of first choice for my customers. Unfortunately, today situation is completely different: (i) DNN is plagued with serious design flaws having negative impact on performance (ii) it is worst documented open source project (iii) there seems to be no testing system what results in tons of bugs and regressions in every release (iv) most of the moduls suffer from the same issues DNN suffers (v) DNN team seems to be concetrating most of time on monetization My recommendation is to look around for another CMS!!!

Install failed on Win2008 server & SQL Server Express. Also performed custom install using Installation guide as recommended - same result. Tried VS2008 download - and ran locally - same result. It is very difficult (and slow) to find information on DotNetNuke site on how to address this issue (carried out all steps in Installation guide). The DotNetNuke site insists on recollecting information about me every step of the way. Who has time for this? - not me!

Incredible framework with extremely active community. Core features can make excellent websites and with modules you can purchase, there are almost no limits to the type or size or site you can build. 5.1 finally adds workflow and versioning to the basic HTML/Text (content) module! The quality of skins (themes) has dramatically improved in the last year.

DotNetNuke just keeps getting better! Although it has a ton of options and obviously stumped a few other commenters, the install keeps improving and many hosters make it trivial. Once installed, relative novices can update web pages; graphic designers can add new pages and readily apply 'skins' to individual pages and add zillions of free or paid modules from a very active cottege industry. Developers can readily create new custom modules with custom logic. It's not trivial - but it is powerful and about 100x faster than coding it yourself. If you are on a Windows platform, what else are you going to use?
