What Framework / CMS Is this Site Using

Trying to figure out the best way to run and setup a similar site to howlifeworks.com, without using wordpress.



Check out the browser extension "wappalyzer" which helps to identify technologies used on websites. It shows that the website you link to has some decently advanced stuff going on, including backbone.js and a windows server api.


Thanks for pointing that extension out. I've been using Honeybadger, which is great for backend tech/whois/misc other data but doesn't give me any info about the front-end stack.


Thanks, both help. If anyone has more insight into it, I'd appreciate it.

Anyone with experience building similar advertorial sites let me know, as I'm looking for someone to build it out as well.
