Is Atlas a Regular ASP.NET Page?

I created a website and selected the Atlas Website template. I don't know if I will use Atlas, but thought I might. Is it still a regular ASP.NET website? Or should I have selected ASP.NET website and added Atlas later. It might be out of beta before I use it. How hard it is to add Atlas later?

Thank you for any help.

When you use the atlas template, all your doing is setting up a solution with the atlas dll already included in your bin folder, all the proper declarations already setup in your web.config, and a script manager registered on your default.aspx page for you. Nothing says you have to use atlas, in fact, untill you add some atlas components, your not. It's for all intents and purposes a standard asp.net page.
Does anyone know when Atlas goes into production?

hello.

yes, this is true. however, if you're not using atlas, then you'd probably be better to use a normal web site (the altas dll + web.config entries introduce some handlers that will intercept some requests unnecessarily).

one more thing: there's already a go live licence for atlas so you can use it in production.
