Out of the box, Kentico CMS includes a browser-based interface for rich content editing, over 200 web parts, built-in modules, and a highly customizable API.

In this book, we will build an example corporate website. Starting with the installation of your development environment and then diving into core modules and their features, over the course of the book, we will look at how we can use page templates, images, themes, web parts, and other features to provide a personalized experience for site visitors. We will also extend the site to include e-commerce functionality that manages products and payment gateways to accept money. Finally, we will extend our site, leveraging the built-in networking features to build a community for your company and integrate with external sites like Facebook and Twitter.
