  3. What is DotNetNuke DotNetNuke is a content management system to help you manage and maintain your website. This tool requires no additional software or advanced editing experience for basic site content updates and page management. Prebuilt site templates and content modules help simplify the process of designing and populating your site with relevant and useful information. Before You Begin… Consider the visitors to your site - what should their experience be? Design the navigation and content to meet the need. Create a simple outline of your site navigation and content. Draw a simple sketch of how you want to lay it out on a page keeping in mind template guidelines. Collect the content by creating the text - based content in Word; gathering any files and images that need uploaded; compiling lists of links.
