Your app stays the host
Add Cendia to your ASP.NET Core app and configure its database. Define content in C#, render it with your Razor templates, and deploy through your own pipeline.
The .NET CMS
Content,
without
compromise.
A CMS inside your ASP.NET Core application. Give authors structured editing, reusable blocks and publishing workflows, while your developers control the content model, front end and deployment.

What makes it different
A CMS that fits inside your application.
/02
Authors get a real editor
Pages built from blocks in drag-and-drop zones, drafts saved freely, validation at publish, and a preview of the actual site.
/03
Headless when you want it
The same content renders as Razor pages or serves a Delivery API with paging, filters and audience-aware results.
For the people doing the work
A calm surface for complex content.
Authors work in fields and content zones designed for the job. Reuse shared blocks across pages or keep a local block for one page, preview the real site, and publish when it is ready. Edit locks help prevent overlapping edits.
- Content and Settings tabs separate copy from presentation choices
- Reuse shared blocks across pages or keep blocks local
- Compare content versions and restore earlier content

Block editing
View full size
Editing this website's homepage hero through Cendia's Content and Settings tabs.
One platform
Content, publishing and delivery.
Working together.
Zones and blocks
Shared blocks for reuse, local blocks for one-offs, and container blocks like accordions that authors fill themselves.
Audiences and languages
Use audience rules to vary block placements. Manage language variants and fallbacks, and run multiple sites from one installation.
A Delivery API
Pages, children and queries over indexed fields, with paging and rights-aware results, for any front end.
Rights and recovery
Set content permissions, compare and restore versions, schedule publishing or expiry, and recover content from the trash.
