One of my developers has picked Kentico CMS as the chosen system for a site we're quoting on. Has anyone had experience with this system?
This guy's so Microsoft-centric that I'm automatically asking myself 'is there something out there that's not IIS-based that's better and cheaper?'

i guess if that's what you're developer feels safe with and can support it then you're ahead of many of us.

Asking on a design board about how to bypass your developers' expert choice... I can see this having hilarious consequences.

Expert? He's a CRM developer masquerading as a website designer/developer. He just showed me the time he thinks it will take to design it, and I almost died.

Zillions of CMS's, most are randomly made for a situation not exactly like yours.
Beware the straightjacket! Designing for most CMS's is very limited, you just get to tweek templates!
Clients will often force Winblows Servers, due to thier IT department's towering requirements and unixphobia.
If it's the least bit blog-like, try wordpress, as it's sooo supported.
Any CMS will suck if it was designed for a situation not much like your situation, you'll be trying to make a submarine fly.
Concrete5 is something I'm looking at now, as it's more customizeable but doesn't drop you down the rabbit hole of too many layers of abstraction
