Complete Story

Telerik, a leading vendor of developer tools and components for .NET, is happy to present Sitefinity CMS v3.2 – a flexible, hassle-free development platform for the construction and management of websites, intranets, and community portals. Sitefinity v3.2 is the succeeding milestone in Telerik’s quest for a feature-rich web development tool with unrivaled usability and compatibility.

“There are many CMS platforms on the market that offer rich functionality for both end user and developers. The comprehensive web development tools, however, always come at the expense of usability. When selecting a CMS, customers usually are up against the trade off “complete vs. user-friendly” platform. We spotted that business opportunity and have been continuously working on providing a comprehensive development platform that does not sacrifice the freedom of both web developers and end-users, yet offers simplicity and ease-of-use” says Vassil Terziev, Telerik CEO. “Sitefinity v3.2 represents a final touch to offering complete content publishing functionality that comes with intuitive user experience”.
