Building an intranet
- by WernerCD
I'm researching for a project I'm going to be doing at work on the side...
I work for a small hospital and we recently upgraded all the browsers inside our intranet to IE8 (Goodbye 6 :). We have a small, obsolete intranet built by someone who isn't a web designer... functional enough, but annoying to maintain and really sparse.
What I'm wanting to do... is use a good framework. I'm looking for suggestions...
I'm looking for something Windows IIS based.
I'd love windows authentication - with the ability to delegate sub-sections of the website to managers. Right now it's my job to add/update/delete anything from the site... I'd like something not complicated that can be delegated to non-technical people.
Like... the Cafeteria Manager should be able to update the menu without putting a ticket into me. She'd log into her computer, open the intranet (which would use her windows log-on to identify her) and have elevated privileges to edit her section of the intranet.
If I have to "extend" a good framework to get Windows Authentication, I'll do it... but I'd prefer it to be baked in.
What are some good frameworks, tools and places to start? While this isn't a "Huge" project... it's going to be bigger than the basic stuff I've done before and I'd like a good place to start.
