    The final project has an admin section(Web forms - C#) that uses the benefits of web forms. It's quick to design and load times and responsiveness are not issues even with complex forms and editable grids etc.. because it's only for admin users.

    Then we have a front end that is running on MVC4 using C#. It uses the Zurb Foundation Framework 4 and runs off of SQL DB Views as it is primarily read only aside from the subscription and recipe rating system. Otherwise I have created views and treating them as tables using Entity Framework. So my models mirror those views. By using views I get things like Ingredient Name real easy instead of querying the table and getting Ingredient ID. Just makes sense, plus it's more secure all together. What do you think? I'm executing, but hitting a lot of speed bumps, most because in MVC you gotta show your work, you can't hack it together like a web forms app. But it's the right way. MY MAJOR ISSUE RIGHT NOW. Is that I didn't start an MVC Project and build a web forms project inside of it. I built them separate because I have no ability to think ahead. lol Now I'm trying to get them put together and running on 1 domain. Preferably the MVC would be in the route directory then a sub directory would house the Web forms app. Shouldn't be a problem... RIght...
