Note: that these templates are for the WebForms version of the CMS, the MVC version is still somewhat limited in example template selection and the only templates for it are found within the source code repositories at GitHub, SourceForge, and Microsoft CodePlex.
Each of these zips should be extracted and the files placed directly under a folder within ~/cmsTemplates/ such as ~/cmsTemplates/{{zip_file_name}}/ . If they do not immediately show up in your template list, click the "refresh configs" button in the management dashboard. Also confirm that your files are at the root of the template folder and not in a sub folder. You should see files look something like ~/cmsTemplates/{#zip_file_name#}/Skin.config rather than ~/cmsTemplates/{#zip_file_name#}/{#zip_file_name#}/Skin.config.

CarrotCake CMS is a free, open-source web CMS built on the Microsoft ASP.NET Framework in both webforms and MVC variants. It is easy to use, simple to understand, and is highly extensible using industry-standard languages and patterns such as HTML, CSS, jQuery, MSSQL, and C#. CarrotCake CMS is powerful and flexible whether you're a web designer or a .Net geek.
We believe that website publishing should be simple. Website owners should be able to drag and drop various content at the website and the websites need to be smart enough to accept and publish everything with the click of a button. It's similar to making a collage, cutting and pasting, stitching and gluing. This should just work. A CMS should have minimal constraints on your design.
With CarrotCake, you will be able to do exactly that. So far we made it possible to add images and links in your pages. You can easily upload an image and add it to the website. And if you want to add a downloadable file, just browse to the file and add a link in any page and CarrotCake will make a link, with the name and the link to the file. Just like that.
