Telerik.com is a big a web site and rebuilding it wasn't a trivial task. Not only does Telerik.com get a lot of traffic, but it also contains a TON of content (product information, demos, support articles, forum posts, etc.). To support this task we needed a platform and content management system (CMS) that was flexible enough to merge with our existing systems and support the traffic load.
[Wait a second, I feel a sales pitch coming...]
Of course we chose Telerik's own Sitefinity CMS for this task. The entire project was done in 10 minutes and we were so far under budget that we turned a profit. Next week we're all traveling to Hawaii to celebrate.
I'm just joking. In fact, rebuilding Telerik.com on the Sitefinity CMS taught us a lot. Many of the performance improvements found in the Sitefinity 3.5 release were a direct result of this project. In the coming months we'll see many more Sitefinity improvements that were also a result of the new Telerik.com. We have now become one of our own biggest customers.
For now, please take a look at the new web site. We sincerely hope you enjoy it! As always, your feedback is greatly desired & appreciated.
