Where to find ASP.NET Web Sites Examples?

[alex koustas]

Hello,

We plan to develop a ASP.NET ( VS 2010 ) web site.

We need to know if there are any ready made startup ASP.NET web sites so we can get them and adjust / upgrade according to our needs.

Thank you for your quick reponse.

The MSDN Library contains documentation on all of controls available to you in ASP.NET (in fact it has documentation on all .NET classes, concepts etc. etc) This library is a vast resource that I use on a daily biases as a .NET developer.

I recommend bookmarking this resource if you plan on developing a project in .NET

I know that the MSDN Library isn't exactly a "template ASP.NET website" link (as you were requesting) but it will definitely be helpful to you. If you really wanted us to help you find a template website, then perhaps you should have told us what type of website you're creating....

what if e-commerce type of sites? do you know any?

We want to create a business web site for a software develop company...

What is a "business website"?

Is it a brochure type deal that tells people who the company is?

Does the business sell products through the website?

Is it a means for the business to openly communicate with their customers/clientele/other-developers (like a forum)?


Every website is unique to the needs of the client.
While you can take a cookie-cutter approach to the look of the website, the content and the purpose of the website has to be tailored to the needs of your client.

It is a brochure type deal that tells people who the company is. No selling products. In the future we can make a blog inside the web site.

ASP.NET websites are used to dynamically generate web content. It's not really ideal for static content...altho ugh there's nothing really stopping you from doing so.

I would recommend that you use static HTML pages for your project and if they want to incorporate a Blog, create a blog for them (blogs are dynamic).

You could even use an existing blogging service like BlogSpot. With BlogSpot, you can create your own template and use your own styles for the blog so that it looks like it's still part of your website.

All the content will be store in a MS SQL DATABASE for easy changes

Perhaps you'd be interested in looking into a Content Management System (a CMS).

These systems allow users to add to and maintain the content of their website.

There are several options out there.
You should google "ASP.NET Content Management Systems"...I know that an expert/moderator on this forum is part of developing for the Umbraco Open Source CMS and he highly recommends it.

Return to my first question, we are looking for a lets say a start up kit ( no free of charge) with a asp.net web site template so we can adjust / upgrade it according to our needs. Do you have in mind such a link?

[Frinavale]

So, Umbraco isn't good enough for you? (there is no charge, it's an open-source project... you just pay for support if you want to)

[alex koustas]

As i told before i look for a web site template which will be lets say 70% ready for use and i will adjust the other 30% to customer needs. So if Umbraco has such web sites templates i will try...I don't have time to create a site from the start...
