This site is build with Graffiti CMS (beta 2) from Telligent.  Since this is my first full Graffiti implementation I thought I should share my impressions while it's fresh in my mind.

If you read the About Us section you will see that this site and it's resources are inspired by my work with NOAH.  If you visit their site you will see that it is in desperate need of a redesign.  One of the organizations biggest issues with their site is updating content.  This is not uncommon; and today there literally hundreds of content management systems out there.  One of the systems we are evaluating is Graffiti CMS.  One of the main reasons is that we use Telligent's Community Server for the Albinism Online Community. 

The organization has some loose requirements:

• Easy to update content
• Look professional
• Is search engine friendly
• Price of course

Being the geek on the project.  I have some additional technical requirements:

• Must run on Microsoft .NET - My company host these sites on one of our production servers.  We are a Microsoft centric shop and will not install other systems like PHP on to our servers.  This does not mean there are not good CMS system written non Microsoft technology.  It more of a cooperate decision.  To get free hosting you must play by the rules of host.
• Must be easily "skinned".

Over all, Graffiti has meet these requirements.  Still some unanswered questions as to implementation and the need to be non beta.  As well, The pricing is a little steep out starting a $399.  At this time I have not inquired about non profit pricing.  Telligent did have a 10 % discount on Community Server, so hopefully something similar for the new product.  I am sure I will have more to share after I am done popping the bubble wrap on this site.
