Author Once.
Publish Twice.
Native EN/FR authoring with live preview, role-based publishing, and AMS-aware components — built into your platform, not bolted on. No CMS license. No agency retainer. No integration tax.
Your AMS knows your members.
Your CMS doesn't.
Most associations end up paying twice — once for an AMS, again for a separate CMS like Kentico or Sitefinity, plus an ongoing agency retainer to keep the two layers in sync. Every new field, every new portal, every bilingual launch becomes a cross-vendor project.
Their Stack
- AMS vendor
- Separate CMS license ($12K–$30K/year)
- Agency retainer for web services
- Custom integration layer between AMS & CMS
- Bilingual rollout = a project, not a checkbox
Content Studio
- One platform, one data model
- No separate CMS license
- Staff publish without an agency in the loop
- Member data, events, and content share one model
- Bilingual authoring native to every content type
Nothing to integrate. Nothing to drift. Nothing to break.
Built for staff. Not developers.
Everything your communications team needs to author, translate, schedule, and publish — without filing a ticket.
Bilingual Content Layers
Every page, post, and component has native EN/FR variants. Edit one, switch languages with a toggle, publish in both — or one and not the other.
Live Preview
See exactly what members will see, in the language they'll see it, before you publish. Editorial confidence without staging gymnastics.
AMS-Aware Components
Drop a member directory, event grid, or SmartList into any page. Components read directly from your AMS — no integration code, no scheduled refreshes.
Role-Based Publishing
Boards approve. Staff publish. Committees draft. Configurable workflows match your governance model with full audit trail.
Versions & Rollback
Every published change is versioned. Compare revisions side-by-side, restore prior versions in one click, and never fear a typo.
Content Types
Pages, posts, news items, sponsor profiles, certification listings — define your own content types and let staff fill in the blanks.
Bilingual by design.
Not by plugin.
Most CMSes treat French as an afterthought — bolted on through translation plugins, broken by every theme update, painful to keep in sync. Content Studio treats EN/FR as native culture layers on every content item.
Author the English version. Switch the toggle. Author the French version. Each language gets its own culture layer — the same approach Orchard Core uses for enterprise multi-region sites — so headers, footers, page sections, and entire community zones can target French speakers, English speakers, or both. Members see content in their preferred language, with intelligent fallback when a translation isn't ready yet.
Header and footer widgets with separate EN/FR culture layers — and a dedicated CommunityFooter for member-only zones.
AS5 modules in the Content Studio admin: Sync, Commerce, Community, Bilingual, Member Auth.
Built on Orchard Core.
Extended for Canadian associations.
Content Studio is built on Orchard Core — Microsoft's open-source, .NET 9 enterprise CMS engine. We extend it with a family of AS5 modules built specifically for the way Canadian associations actually operate.
AS5.Sync keeps your AMS data live in your content. AS5.Commerce handles event registration and checkout. AS5.Community powers member forums and discussion. AS5.Bilingual manages EN/FR culture fallback. AS5.MemberAuth bridges Orchard sessions to your AMS authentication. Each one is independently versioned, individually toggleable, and engineered for the next two decades of .NET innovation.
