Umbraco Content Management System (CMS)
Over the last ten years, we have worked with many different CMS platforms but the one that we have come to trust the most is Umbraco. Umbraco offers everything you manage a fast, scalable and easy to update website.
A good content management system (CMS) will save your organisation
a lot of money by allowing you and your colleagues to make changes
to your website's content (add pages, update text, insert images,
etc) without needing help from an external agency. As a result, you
will be free to use your website more productively and
imaginatively.
Whether we are adding Umbraco to a new website or replacing an existing CMS, there is not much that can't be done with Umbraco. An open source CMS built on Microsoft's .NET technology stack, Umbraco provides great out of the box functionality as well as the flexibility to customise the platform where clients want it.
Rest-assured, Umbraco is tried and tested; its first open source version released in February 2005 and Umbraco is now the CMS of choice for SMEs and much larger websites for multinationals like heinz.com, publications such as wired.co.uk and even fansites like takethat.com. Umbraco content management also extends to all type of site, be it web, mobile or tablet.
Niels Hartvig, Umbraco's creator, wanted to build a CMS that pleased non-technical users and yet wasn't limited on what it could achieve from a technology point of view. Today's Umbraco offers its users all of this.
Four good reasons to love Umbraco
1. Scalable, High
Perfomance Technology
The Umbraco architecture and database is designed to make sure
that your website can display content to its visitors in a fast and
highly reliable manner, whatever its size. This allows your website
to grow as it needs to without affecting performance. Umbraco can
also handle multi-language websites with thousands of pages.
2.
Flexibility
The flexibility inherent to Umbraco's technical design
means it can be customised and tailored to meet organisation
specific design and functionality requirements.
3. Ease of
Use
For a content management system to be valuable, it needs to be
easy to use on a day to day basis. Whilst rich in technology,
Umbraco's user interface is designed so that non-technical users
can quickly and easily exploit the functionality with minimal
training.
4. Open Source
Intelligence
Unsure about open source software? You shouldn't be: Umbraco
benefits from a community of developers who share ideas, fix bugs
and develop code for the benefit of all. As a result, Umbraco's
content management software is constantly improving; matching the
evolution of websites and their usage patterns.
We are an Umbraco certified partner
We've invested our resources in becoming an Umbraco certified partner so that we can get the most out of the CMS technology for our clients. Not only does this inolve us in the conversation about how Umbraco develops, it also means you can be sure of our skills in implementing Umbraco-based projects. Whilst Umbraco is easy for website owners to use, the initial configuration should always be handled by someone who is technically qualified - particularly when Umbraco customisation is required.
We have delivered a wide range of projects for clients using Umbraco as a platform. The following links takes you to some of our most recent case studies.
