Alfresco has had various Wcm capabilities over the years and does power many, many web sites however its most successful application is as a back-end content repository.

There is a "web quick start" sample application demonstrating this approach.

The deprecated and currently being removed AVM was a web authoring environment to control, and deploy web assets.

Hi mrogers
Thanks for your reply.
So "web quick start" is a just sample application which has been developed to guide people the way to go in terms of building a wcm on top of Alfresco…Right?
And Alfresco doesnt come shipped with its own WCM as such…Am i right in assuming this?

So the way forward for us should be to get an idea of "developing a WCM Web App for Alfresco" by having a look at the WQS source code. This is what we thought earlier as well….But theres another issue to that. See below post:

The Alfresco Maven All-In-One Archetype isnt creating the WQS folder now.
The WCQMS project was removed for this issue : https://code.google.com/p/maven-alfresco-archetypes/issues/detail?id=130

So can you please show us the way forward?

what I know that alfresco stopped supporting WCM, you can use Web Quick Start or CMIS.

You can integrate drupal/plone with alfresco,and use alfresco as back-end,drupal/plone as front-end.
