The solution may be an existing CMS or a custom web application, that is part of the solution.?

We are open to changes in the design in order to meet the objective. Any significant changes will require approval on the look and feel. Regarding the technology used for the site, currently we are using mojoPortal. Even though mojoPortal works, it hasn't been as flexibility as we have needed. Please make suggestions to which platform will work best, such as DNN, WordPress, [login to view URL], mojoPortal, etc. All of these essentially are .Net solutions. Our current hosting company sucks. The first page load can take up to 40 seconds and thereafter, each page load averages 3 to 5 seconds. Feel free to make suggestions regarding the hosting but bear in mind we have a limited budget. The performance is critical to the success of any website. In summary, these are the following requirements: * Build (a new) and/or use (an existing) .Net platform for publishing a website. * Content changes to the website should be simple, such as a basic CMS. * The site should be very similar to [login to view URL] once completed. * Current branding can be modified but it should feel familiar and aesthetically pleasing. * Final delivery will include validating the solution is running in production. * Suggests a good hosting company for this website with good performance at a budget price. We can discuss the details later has to the hosting requirements. * Features that must be supported: * Adding pages and other such elements should be reflected in the global navigation * Allow users to sign up for newsletters * Contact page must capture in the information on this site and e-mail the information * When adding pages, there must be the concept of different page templates. This will allow us to create different pages with slightly different looks. * Blog feature * Web site analytics (maybe provided by the hosting company, current one doesn't) * This product must be extensible, such as new layout (template) pages, Web parts (or modules) Please ask questions if you need clarification on anything.
