From Sebastian Ross

  • Create a new theme by copying and pasting TheThemeMachine
  • Use Web Essential Nightly Builds: http://vswebessentials.com/download
  • Keep Bootstrap classes outside of HTML markup; instead use the .make-row, .container, and make-col() mixins.
  • The community needs Bug Fixes and End User Documentation

From Bertrand Le Roy

  • Deploy from build precompiled instead of from the Azure Gallery, because Orchard will run faster.
  • If you don’t need it, uninstall a module instead of just disabling it, because Orchard will run faster.

Piotr Szmyd

  • When developing in Orchard, set the project to use IIS Local not IIS Express, because the environment will run faster.
