Introduction: My background is heavily weighted to graphics and front ends in most any media: print, Web, flash, and even some video.
I have developed websites in PHP and MySQL along with Wordpress. My experience is weighted toward .NET, Microsoft SQL, IIS and setting up and maintaining MS servers and software.
The platform that I have been using the past several years is DNN (Dot Net Nuke). It is a free content management systems that allows you to easily get a website up and running fairly fast. It also separates the look and feel from the functionality as well as allows for Google Analytics and ad words, keywords, etc. I build custom modules as well as skins.
However, I am able to develop a data-driven website from scratch on either platform.
