Umbraco Development

What is Umbraco?

Umbraco is an open source content management system that can be thought of as the brain of your website(s) and/or web applications. Unlike many CMS systems out there including WordPress, Joomla and Shopify, Umbraco is heavily tailored towards organisations that require a wide range of customisation and bespoke integrations. Because it is built on the .NET framework, it is highly regarded for it's performance and security and is used by some of the worlds biggest organisations. As a user of Umbraco, you can opt to use the original, downloadable CMS version or their cloud based version - Umbraco Cloud.

What can Umbraco do for your business?

Umbraco provides you with an all in one CMS platform for building and managing your website(s), offering intelligent tooling for website design, build and deployment as well as on-going management. There's more to it than that though and for some businesses, it really is the perfect fit. If your business requires any of the following, you may well just fall into that bracket too:

Customisation without limitation

User friendly even for non techs

The Umbraco platform is widely regarded for being user friendly, even for those in your organisation who aren't technical wizards. This naturally makes it an attractive choice if you intend to add, edit or publish  content on a regular basis without having to get the grumpy dev team involved.

One dashboard, many websites

If you are a sucker for punishment and run websites in multiple regions or have multiple brands, Umbraco allows you to manage them all from the same log in. Thank Goodness.

It's like, really secure

Umbraco is widely trusted for its security, with regular updates and a mahoosive community keeping it patched, maintained and a step ahead of potential threats.

Budget friendly (yes, really)

Because it’s open source, there are no licensing fees for you to worry about. Updates and security patches also come free and there’s a free version that costs precisely £0 to get started.

SEO friendly

Possibly one of the most SEO Friendly CMS platforms out there, Umbraco offers on page SEO, content structuring tools and also manages internal linking and changes to URLs automatically.
