Sitefinity Maintenance
I am always one for upgrading Sitefinity to the latest release and reviewing and improving the whole environment. Development, Source control, Builds deployment and of course actual code.
Blog
Sitefinity Stuff Articles
In these articles I will talk about how I work and develop in Sitefinity. I also look to talk about any errors and issues I ran into hoping that it helps others who have run into the same things. I also talk about ways to achieve a solution or solve a problem. Of course there are always several ways to achieve a solution and I do hope to hear about other peoples ideas along the way.
Creating a Sitefinity Project
Once I had used the Sitefinity CLI tool to upgrade a project I was hooked. This was way simpler than the manual process. Not only does it update your packages but it's smart enough to sort out and correct some misconfigurations. But there was something missing for me. There was no option to create a new project. The good news is that the Sitefinity team have this code as open-source meaning I could download and look to add that functionality myself. So, that is what I have done.
Sitefinity 14 Upgrade
Upgrading Sitefinity to 14.0 was straight forward but a dumb mistake had me giving myself an uppercut. Despite my shame and for your convenience I will write out the steps I went through which may help you when trying to find live site issues.
Form Integrations
Its easy for users to create forms through Sitefinity. But the storage is a simple list and most people want some cool analytics and management of their form data such as provided by Salesforce or ActOn. In this post I look at an easy way to push our forms data to these third party services.

For Help
Help
Need some help with Sitefinity? Some development or consulting? Small business work or enterprise level, I can help you out through myself and my employment with American Eagle.

Perhaps a drop in module to add some functionality or a whole service module to enhance the business. I have created several reusable modules over my time and am refining them to be used by others.
