During 2019 DNN Summit, CEO of DNN Software, Andy Tryba publicly admitted to using Squarespace over DNN for former’s ease of use and overall user experience.

Since then, we have been on a mission to bridge this UX gap between DNN and other modern CMS’s and Site Builders. It started as a simple prototype to include a page builder for DNN but quickly spiraled into a project that totally transforms the User Experience. Over a year worth of planning and development by many engineers, I am excited to announce a BETA release of Vanjaro.

Vanjaro is an open source digital experience platform built on DNN – the leading content management system (CMS) in Microsoft ecosystem. Also available as a DNN Extension. 

Source code is available on GitHub along with instructions to get started. 

In the months ahead, we will continue to add many new enterprise features including multi-channel publishing, personalization, and awesome user experience (UX).
