The Preview phase of DotNest ends today. We're very excited to take DotNest to the next level, because we really strive to provide an awesome Orchard SaaS for you!

Until now you could only theme your DotNest site by using stylesheets. But now these dark days are over! We present you the power of Liquid Markup templates!

Client-side performance matters - of course. That's why we optimized DotNest to be fast out of the box not just when work is done on the server but also on the client-side.

As you all surely know, the third Orchard Harvest conference will be between 9-11 June in Seattle. If you attend (or watch the recordings later) you'll be able to also hear about what's under the hood of DotNest in our "Building an Orchard SaaS - DotNest" talk. We'll share the experiences of building and operating DotNest so you can make your own Orchard web apps better. See you at Harvest!

Search engine optimization (i.e. tuning your site to be on top of Google pages) is not so "in" than a few years back, but it still matters a lot, and not just for search engines, but for the general user experience. We added the SEO module by Onestop to DotNest, available to everybody!

As you may know from the relevant Knowledge Base page output caching for DotNest sites are managed by a reverse proxy: this means that a server is sitting in front of DotNest, caching pages and serving cached pages instantly.

Orchard Harvest is only a little more than a month from now and we are proud to announce that we have a new DotNest site to showcase related to that: the website of the Orchard Spring Harvest Challenge!

In the series of featured DotNest sites we intend to give some publicity to the nicest DotNest sites: starting with Native Hungarian!
