Why we love Umbraco

Umbraco is a powerful open-source web content management solution built upon the Windows infrastructure. This means that, although licensed versions are available from the core team, you do not need to purchase a license to use it for your website.

 

Umbraco includes the standard features we've all come to expect. For example, you can expect to be able to create and edit page content, update navigational menus, and upload images and documents. However it also includes more powerful functions like multiple user management and workflow notifications for site editors.

Supported by a growing community of developers, Umbraco is an ideal choice when considering ongoing and future support for your website. Community developed "packages" offer extensions to Umbraco and include functions such as including your Twitter updates on your site or integrating Google Analytics within your admin tools.

The system is also support by a core team, based in Denmark, who continue to refine the core code and release upgrades almost annually.

By embracing open-standards, flexibility and integration, Umbraco ensures websites are user friendly, search engine friendly and platform independent. Umbraco sites employing web standards will work successful on all modern browsers (that support web standards, for example Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome).

Additionally, Umbraco websites are incredibly search engine friendly and lend themselves naturally to SEO (search engine optimisation). Extension-less URLs (read search engine friendly URLs), Google XML sitemaps and access to all page content in addition to Meta page titles and descriptions make for a powerful SEO platform.

Our clients find Umbraco very intuitive to work with. From managing small brochure-based websites, through to managing large information portals, we've found Umbraco to be the ideal solution in a whole range of scenarios.
