Win the $4,499 Kentico license for your Kentico Web site on a Free Edition!

   —   
Submit your Web site running on the Free Edition to the Best Free Edition Site Contest
It’s a year and half ago when we firstly introduced a Free Edition of Kentico CMS and today there are thousands of Web sites using it. Most of them are commercial Web sites which are covering different industries. The others include NGO, Personal, Social Groups or Hobby sites. By offering the Free edition we are providing our Enterprise Web Content Management System to the lower budget Web projects. Of course the functionality is limited, but still good enough to support basic corporate Web site. Since the core of the product is the same, developers can still take the advantage of rapid development and unmatched extensibility of the product and content editors might appreciate an intuitive and easy to use interface.

SUBMIT YOUR WEB SITE BY LEAVING A COMMENT BELOW THAT MENTION ITS URL.

Free as a Puppy or Free as Beer?
 
So, what’s the price of the Web site on the Free Edition? Web site running on this edition is required to have the Powered by Kentico CMS logo or the visible link "Powered by Kentico CMS for ASP.NET" pointing to http://www.kentico.com in the footer of all pages managed by Kentico CMS. While logo suites to some of the Web sites, on others the link is more appropriate – the decision is up to you in this case.

And, I'd like to submit our own new site too: www.famousgroupdev.com.au - after selling the benefits of Kentico CMS to our clients for the last couple of years we thought it was time (and best practice) to use ourselves what we sell to others. We can also use it as a showcase of functionality which we never could do before without having a demo server/site.

Michael Randerson / The Famous Group commented on

Just in time to enter it here, we launched www.veedesign.com.au today - an urban design and landscape architecture company.

A small site we've put together using the free license as part of our sponsorship of the upcoming Pacific Asia Bridge Federation 2010 Championships.

Our site, http://www.mstherapycentrenotts.co.uk/, uses the free version of Kentico CMS.

Built by James Bloor (http://jamesbloor.com/) we are able to manage our site better than ever before using Kentico.

This site is for a client I have had for years. (AET Global) They wanted to edit their own site so we decided to go with kentico. The original plan was to be a fully paid site but due to the major downturn in the USA economy and real estate affected their business to the point that they had to back off their advertising budget. I generally use the free version to start the design and then convert to the 30 day version to complete the project. Thank you kentico for allowing us to offer low budget clients a free version with our hopes of converting to the paid version when they get enough funds to upgrade.

We've recently launched www.cupcoffee.com.au using the free Kentico CMS License. Using some of the CMS features, customers at the cafe are asked to go to the website to rate the different coffee roasts. This then helps Cup Coffee decide which coffees should be re-run in the future.

http://www.realmofquickpaw.com - I've been working with Kentico at my job for about 2 years now, and I finally decided it was time to make my new personal site with it. I still have lots of work to do, but I'm really happy with it so far. It's mostly for my art.

RCAUTAHK.CZ is the radio controled cars (RC cars) club website. We used great CMS Kentico to publish information about club activities and race contests. CMS offers us many options to create attractive website for RC fans.

My company sells high-end industrial cameras to companies using these cameras for quality control or as the 'eyes' of robots.
Kentico CMS has been an easy to use and cost effective way to portray a high quality image and manage the website easily.
