    MVC for simple site?

    Hi guys bit new to MVC and especially ASP.NET. I am trying to create a simple site/landing page(s) with a bit or a parallax feel to it. Would it be best to go with MVC or use Web Forms?

    I am leaning towards MVC because im sure it will be useful somewhere. But really even for later projects is it possible to do static like stuff with MVC?

    I would go 100% with simple web forms. Don't want to explain again or start another "food fight" with JM. MVC seems to bee the future implementation of asp.net (as asp.net web forms has been hold ) but almost everything you want to do will work fine.
    Having said that, I would have gone 100% with client side JS vs Asp.net. I just use asp.net as a "notepad" that i can write JS with some intellisense.
    So I would say neither on MVC and ASP.NET but if i had to choose the I would have gone with ASP.NET. Mind you Microsoft MVC is bs, other implementations on php are perfectly fine.

    If all you want is static then you don't need MVC, WebForms or ASP of any flavour. These are for making dynamic web pages. What's wrong with plain old HTML?

    Microsoft MVC is bs
    You'll be glad to hear that MVC is growing on me and I definitely prefer it over WebForms. I've never tried the pure javascript aproach, though, so have no real basis for comparison to you aproach.

    MVC in general as a design pattern is pretty great (IMHO) ... it's MS's implementation of it that I've had problems with.

    MS MVC bashing leads me to post again that NancyFx is a nice, lightweight framework that handles MVC very cleanly and doesn't have the bloat of MS's MVC implementation.

    I wonder what they were drinking that day at MS, when they created MVC....And possibly if they can give me some too

    Yeh its kind of a basic site. One section has an input that takes an email and when they click the button it stores the address in a database and then it sends them to a page with testimonials.

    The testimonials page then has links to each individual testimonial with individual info.

    So alot of information will be stored in the database so I think MVC might be the right way still.
