Orchard CMS & ASP.NET MVC 4 -

I am starting a new project which requires extensive CMS functionality, I would also like to be a full MVC 4 site.

I have installed Orchard CMS for the first time from the web platform installer - and after loading the solution (after web setup) - no view / model or controllers folder.

I have read that the orchard is based on this technique - what is the best way to fully optimize HTML / CSS - and adding your own model / visualization?

Thanks

Yes, the garden is based on MVC, but it is also modular . Modules add features in the core but essentially decoupled as much as possible from each other. They are also made on the ASP.NET MVC area. You will find those modules and themes (and their views, controllers and models) / modules and subfolders / themes directories inside. Those directories can be found right in the root of the web site (src / Orchard.Web if you are using a source code drop). Finally, the core modules can be found with the same structure under the core.
