by IDS Logic Pvt. Ltd. Software Outsourcing Company

The launch of Sitefinity 11 has been an exciting process and it has come up with many new features and functionalities. The latest release has also come up with changes in the structure of the documentation. The framework named as “Feather” has now moved and is substituted with MVC.

ASP.Net MVC is an alternative to the classical WebForms and is used for creating web applications. It is an architectural pattern that separates the application into three major components: - The Model, The View and The Controller.  All these three components represent the business logic, the UI logic and the input logic respectively. The Sitefinity structure is now oriented towards the MVC approach and the MVC widgets in the hybrid pages are on the top of the toolbox from version 11.0. It is recommended to the Sitefinity developers to use the MVC especially from their new projects.

The MVC Pattern and its Advantages:

The ASP.Net MVC pattern uses a design pattern that has a three building block of an application and they are used to create clean separation between application layers. The prime goal is to separate presentation (view), Logic (Controller) and data (Model). Seasoned developers can now recognize the value of the proposal, but it is important to acknowledge that it is only possible with ASP.Net WebForms. An application based on WebForms can now enjoy the benefits while planning for the applications architecture and implementation.

Benefits of Using the MVC Architecture:

·         Developing of an application becomes fast

·         It is easy to update an application

·         It is easy for multiple developers to collaborate and work together

·         It is easy to debug as MVC has multiple levels that are properly written in the application.

·         The views of the widgets are part of the resource package in Sitefinity based projects and they are modifiable.

·         Using of the latest frontend technologies that include Semantic UI, Bootstrap and etc.

Developers can easily modify the default structure to fit their scenarios within very little time. Thus, taking advantage of all these things make the developers more productive and reduces the time to market.

The Flexible Architecture of Sitefinity is Great for MVC:

When Sitefinity 4.0 was released, it was completely rewritten from the previous 3.x versions and many other architectural decisions were taken. Sitefinity uses the Routing Engine and Microsoft developed this for the MVC and later extracted it to ASP.Net WebForms that could also take the advantage of it. This routing engine is paramount with ASP.Net MVC and the requirement for any type of real support of ASP.Net MVC.  Since Sitefinity already uses the Routing Engine, there are no changes needed to meet the requirement.

How MVC Framework can Bring Value to Your Business:

It is very important for website owners to keep in mind the performance, speed and productivity of the site, and this helps the marketers and developers to focus and have more control on their core business objectives.

Speed:

Speed can actually make or even break the user experience of your site and ultimately the bottom line. A mere second delay in the loading time of the website can cause the users to become very impatient and they can navigate from your site.  This means that you will have less visitors on your site. MVC is a lightweight framework that reduces the bandwidth of every request and helps to make it better responsive and search engine optimized. 

SEO Friendly:

The clean HTML with semantic clear content structure means improved accessibility, which includes options for the narrators and faster loading time because of less HTML and script clutter. This leads to better indexability and higher search engine ranking, brand awareness and great sales opportunities.

Summary:

Sitefinity development supports the MVC architecture and with the fine granularity and control over markup, the developers have full control over the client side functionality of pages, which is attractiveness and interactivity.
