Does a website built on asp.net have a Content Management System (CMS)?

Question

I have a client that is using an agency that is using asp.net to build their website. I've never heard of this before. My agency provides SEO and I'm trying to find out if the new website will have a Content Management System and logins so my team can do SEO?

Hi @Mike Smith,

ASP.NET Content Management System platforms are smart to automate all the content processes on a website. At present, many ASP.NET CMS are available.

I think you can choose Umbraco.

Umbraco is one of the most used and popular CMS among all ASP.NET based content management systems (CMS) which is SEO friendly.

Answer 2

while a content management system can be written in asp.net, these are usually commercial system as suggested above. Most likely the client is just coding a website in asp.net (like a client using python or php). typically the code will be in a source control. instead of template pages, there standard code files (layout) where SEO settings would typically be made. There a several asp.net frameworks (webform, mvc, razor pages) and languages (vb, c#, f#) the client could have used.

you may need to view the live site, and give requirements to the clients application team.
