A Content Management Application by Telerik Inc.

Native ASP.NET Application
telerik Sitefinity is a native ASP.NET application, which completely leverages the performance, scalability, and extensibility of the Microsoft .NET platform.

Open Modular Architecture
To avoid the typical technology lock-in Sitefinity utilizes an open architecture, consisting of self-contained independent modules. As a developer you will be able to build-up on the provided modules, add new, or even customize the existing ones with respect to the requirements of your application.

Easy Integration and Reuse of Standard ASP.NET Controls
The building blocks of Sitefinity are standard ASP.NET controls, which you may have written or purchased from a third party. Simply upload the relevant files with the integrated Control Uploader tool, or add them directly to the provided project file in Visual Studio .Net. Then all you have to do is select the control from the list.

Side-by-Side Development in Visual Studio .Net
Every Sitefinity web-site has an automatically generated Visual Studio .Net project file, which could be accessed from the Project Manager. It allows you to do side-by-side development and test the results on-the-fly in the working project. Developers can write new user controls, modify the functionality of existing ones, or reuse readily-available code. At the end all they have to do is build the project and refresh the browser window.

Ability to Parameterize User Controls from the Browser
telerik Sitefinity features a unique tool called the Property Grid. It enables developers and end-users to configure user controls directly from within the browser. It looks similarly to the Properties Window in Visual Studio® .NET and eliminates the need for off-line configuration and upload of the control files.

Features the Award-Wining telerik r.a.d.controls
telerik Sitefinity is shipped with all ASP.NET components from the award-winning telerik r.a.d.controls suite. They enable developers to rapidly build the interface of the web-site project and enjoy tight integration with the core CMS application.

Fully Exposed API for Complete Control and Extensibility
Sitefinity exposes a comprehensive set of methods and events, which allow developers to handle and customize almost every aspect of the application: programmatically create users and set permissions, build layouts and pages, detect and set cell content, etc. A developer guide with a full API reference and code examples is provided to get you started.

Search-Engine Friendly URLs
Although Sitefinity uses a single page (Default.aspx) to handle all page requests, it employs URL rewriting to emulate real .aspx pages. This allows search engines to fully index Sitefinity web-sites and properly pass the ranks to all sub-pages. At present, the URL addresses are based on the page global ID, but this module can be easily replaced with one based on Page names for example.

Upload User Controls Without Using FTP
telerik Sitefinity features an integrated user control uploader for direct transfer to the remote production server. This enables even non-technical users to upload user controls with no code-behind directly from the browser. However, for security purposes, you have to manually upload the assemblies (DLL files) of all custom controls, which have code-behind
