How Umbraco can help your business
Umbraco is extremely user friendly and easy to adopt
No technical knowledge is needed to manage content like pages, images or video. Usability is at the heart of Umbraco.
Ideal for integrating with your existing systems
Umbraco’s system architecture is designed for extensibility - developers can easily add capabilities or functionality as needed.
Block-system to create custom landing pages
Allows you to build pages with a host of different elements such as rich-text, headlines, images, videos, Google maps, custom forms, and more as required.
Powerful search engine
Umbraco uses Apache Lucene, one of the fastest and most powerful search engines - to build an impressive search experience for all your content in one place.
Comprehensive User / Roles / Permission management
Comes with a user-friendly publishing workflow with multiple roles (Admin, Editor, Writer, and Translator) to maximise effective team management.
Cloud native in Azure & highly scalable
Umbraco is built with Azure PaaS services in mind, so that all the benefits of PaaS cloud offerings (like full scalability and Microsoft security) can be fully utilised.
No licensing costs
Unlike some of its competitors, Umbraco does not charge a licensing fee for its Enterprise-grade CMS. This often means that our clients can have additional budget for extra features and an improved user experience.
Built with SEO in mind
Allows you to control all of your on-page SEO elements, including Open Graph requirements and meta information. You can also control your URL structure for even further optimisation.
Multi-site support
Manage multiple websites through a single Umbraco instance (for example, we have facilitated over 30 websites hosted on just one Umbraco instance.
Multilingual support baked in
No plugins or packages required - Umbraco supports this out of the box.
Ability to build custom tools for your business
Features such as “Content Apps” and Umbraco’s signature flexibility allows us to build tools to improve your workflow and keep your team efficient.
Greased lightning
Speed is everything when it comes to conversions, and Umbraco sites are built to be lean and fast. Umbraco isn’t bogged down with dozens of packages required to make it run.
Secure
Umbraco is well maintained, updated, and regularly audited by security experts. Breaches are rare, and patches tend to be easy for developers to apply - meaning we can keep your product safe and secure, at all times.
Scalable
Umbraco can grow with your organisation and be continuously built upon as your needs change and grow.
