I was wondering if anyone here is using Orchard CMS? I'm trying it out and I really like so far. I was wondering if WebMatrix is suitable to work with Orchard for most things such as creating a new theme, widgets, etc? When would Visual Studio be necessary?

Hi dear,
Yes dear, Webmatrix is suitable for Orchard CMS for small editing and changes. Yes you can use Webmatrix to create theme and widgets.
You can create a theme by using the Orchard.CodeGeneration Module..which will create a yourtheme folder for you inside the Themes Folder.
Visual Studio is used when you might want to work with the Orchard.Source file directly or create ur own modules.
If you will be using Orchard CMS for creating websites , adding and editing content,widgets and etc then Webmatrix is the best tool and if you are into creating your own modules then use Visual Studio with Orchard.Source.
Thanks

That makes sense. I noticed that Orchard adds a lot of inline css to pages. Is that a tradeoff I have to make to use a CMS or is this something that can be custom developed to keep the html clean as possible (i.e. no inline css created by CMS)?
You can develop a custom css file and then Include that custom css file within the Layout.cshtml file. Projection Feature in Orchard CMS also allows you to apply custom css rules to the generated ul or grid table tags. Orchard CMS has a module called
Designer Tools which provides 2 features : 1. Url Alternatives 2. Shape Tracing. All of the above features allows you to create an awesome custom theme for Orchard CMS.
I had created a theme for my
client using Webmatrix they had provided me their HTML & CSS.
Thanks

Do you have an example of inline css that you've seen? It should do none of this. What theme are you using?
