Why Umbraco CMS?

We believe Umbraco is the best open-source content management system (CMS) on the market because:

  • With Umbraco, we have the freedom to build websites exactly the way we want to. We are not tied to a system or theme with limited options, plugins and rules that may or may not be relevant for you.

  • The open-source version is free to use, meaning no licence fee to pay. You only pay for hosting once the site is built.

  • As an enterprise level platform, the 'wysiwyg' editor experience is very easy to use and is customised to your specific needs.

The WYSIWYG editor experience makes it quick and easy to update
  • The code is clean and optimised for organic SEO and features useful tools to enhance social sharing.

  • Umbraco is backed by a professional and highly skilled commercial company (unlike WP) and an open-source community of over 200,000 commited developers, many of which are here in the UK.

  • Umbraco won the Digital Europe Unicorn Award 2019 and is the fastest growing European content management system. It is also rated #1 in Europe and scores 4.4/5 on G2.

  • We have been committed to Umbraco for over 12 years and have consistently delivered successful websites of all sizes and specifications.

What is Umbraco?

Umbraco is a leading open-source .NET Content Management System (CMS) which is built on Microsoft’s .NET (dot NET) framework using ASP.NET and is written in C#. 

Umbraco offers high flexibility, security, and scalability. Also known as “The Friendly CMS”, it gives end users and content editors a very easy-to-use, flexible interface with an intuitive editing experience.

Swedish growth investor Monterro invested in August 2021, becoming the new majority shareholder in Umbraco. The global headquarters are still in Odense, Denmark and in 2020, Umbraco opened a US headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina.

As a very stable and secure application, Umbraco has more than 700,000 active installs in every type of industry including global brands like Microsoft, Carlsberg, Investor, ArcelorMittal, Scholl, Mercedes-Benz, Domino’s Pizza, Corinthia Hotels, Merlin Entertainment, and National Grid to name a few.

Apart from regular internal testing, Umbraco HQ deploys an external 
security company to perform thorough penetration testing of Umbraco CMS.
