Umbraco is the fastest growing Web CMS on the Microsoft ASP.NET platform and the only open source Web CMS that'll put a smile on both designers, developers and editors.
Watch a five minute introduction here: http://umbraco.org/documentation/videos/getting-started/what-is-umbraco
It's the most flexible CMS on the Microsoft platform, yet incredibly fast and easy to implement. It comes with a beautiful web client that works in any modern browser on any platform and gives you FULL CONTROL of both markup, content models and integration via .NET.
Your designers will be pleased knowing that whatever they can do in (x)html will work with umbraco and leave their markup intact - no hacks, no tables, no red validation screens.
Your developers will enjoy full access to the .NET APIs and full support for existing .NET User/Custom controls. They'll also appreciate that umbraco doesn't use a proprietary templating engine, but instead rely on ASP.NET MasterPages which means full support for Visual Studio.
Your editors will instantly fall in love with Umbraco's unique Canvas Editing which means that to edit a page they simply browse their website and click whatever text or images they wish to change and umbraco will automatically load and insert the appropriate editing control via AJAX, whether it's just a simple text field or a full-blown WYSIWYG Editor.
Speaking of the latter, there's no Web CMS that features such an extensive integration of a WYSIWYG editor as umbraco. Internal links are inserted with SEO-friendly urls, scaled images are automatically re-sized server side and the editor also makes sure proportions are kept. As a designer you can choose which CSS styles/html elements are allowed as styling in the editor and give it a friendly name (ie. Red Header instead of H1). If you copy from Word, it'll not only clean the pasted content making sure it's valid (X)HTML, but it'll also match any styling (headers, etc) with the styling rules in the sites CSS and remove whatever styles is not allowed.
As most people say about umbraco: "I can't believe this is free". But it is.
