Umbraco | the world's friendliest CMS
Umbraco is an open source CMS, which provides ample opportunities for you
to get a tailor-made solution that fits exactly your wishes and needs.
What is Umbraco?
Umbraco is a flexible and professional CMS (Content Management System) that gives you complete freedom to develop customized websites and web applications. It is open source and built on Microsoft's .NET platform, making it particularly suitable for companies that want high security, scalability and control over both design and functionality.
Umbraco is especially popular among professional developers, as it is easy to work with in both frontend and backend. That is why it is used today by both public organizations and private companies that need more than standard solutions.
With Umbraco you get:
- An intuitive and user-friendly editor interface that makes it easy to update content without technical knowledge
- Ability to customize every feature to your specific needs
- A solid technical foundation that can handle everything from small websites to complex web solutions
Compared to other CMSs such as WordPress and Joomla, Umbraco provides a high level of flexibility and security as standard – right out of the box – without the need for external plugins or extensions. This makes it particularly suitable for solutions that require tailored features and control over both the backend and frontend.

Advantages of Umbraco
Umbraco is built as an Open Source system, meaning the source code is free and license-free. There are no subscriptions or licenses that need to be paid to use the system.
The system is known for having a very user-friendly and intuitive user interface (UI), which is quick to learn and easy to navigate. This means that you can easily manage and change the content on your website without having to be web designers. Of course, we will show you how to navigate the back-end.
The Umbraco platform is so flexible that it is possible for our Umbraco developers to build exactly the website you have dreamed of.
Umbraco can also be integrated with other systems in your company, so you can combine your systems and streamline your working day. It's pure win-win.
Umbraco is particularly known for being an ideal platform if you need a website in multiple languages. With just a few clicks, you can copy the basic structure, and all you have to do is translate the content. This ensures that you have the same digital visual brand image across markets, business areas, and users.
Today, you can't build a website without considering SEO. Umbraco ensures that the code behind the website is SEO-optimized, so Google and other search engines can easily find your website, and then it's just a matter of working on the content.
Umbraco's slogan is that they are the world's friendliest CMS. This means that using the platform itself is extremely user-friendly, which provides you and your users with a top-notch user experience. Additionally, 200,000+ Umbraco members ensure that it's always possible to get help with the system, which means we can always develop and design a feature that meets your needs.
Why choose Umbraco?
Umbraco is a CMS for those of you who need more than a standard solution. It is developed with a focus on flexibility, scalability and full control, which is why many companies choose Umbraco when they have special requirements for functionality, security and integration.
Unlike many other systems, where you are often tied to ready-made themes and external plugins, Umbraco offers a developer-friendly platform with full access to the source code. This gives you the freedom to tailor the solution down to the smallest detail and adapt it precisely to your business – both now and as your needs evolve.
With Umbraco you get a modern and stable solution, where high security and performance are built in from the start. The intuitive editor interface makes it easy for your employees to work with the content in their everyday lives, while the platform's technical foundation opens up for integration with everything from ERP and e-commerce systems to custom-built business solutions.
If you are looking for a CMS that can grow with your business and support your digital ambitions in both the short and long term, Umbraco is a safe and future-proof choice.
Is Umbraco the right choice for you?
Umbraco is not necessarily right for everyone – and that is exactly why we advise you honestly. The most important thing is that your CMS matches your needs, ambition level and technical framework.
Umbraco is a good choice if you:
- Need a customized solution with full control over features and content
- Have complex requirements for security, integration, or data flows
- Want a scalable platform that can be adapted continuously
- Prioritizes technical freedom over standard solutions
On the other hand, Umbraco is rarely the right choice if you just need a simple presentation page with few standard features.
Are you unsure whether Umbraco is right for your business? Then contact us. With many years of experience in both Umbraco and other CMSs such as WordPress and Joomla, we will help you find the solution that best matches your needs and business goals.
Umbraco integrations
Umbraco makes it easy to integrate your website with systems like CRM, ERP or e-commerce platforms. This ensures efficient workflows and reduces the risk of manual errors.
By integrating your Umbraco website with your other systems, you can streamline your work processes. Through integrations, you can send and synchronize data across these systems. This saves time on manual work processes and avoids typos.

Umbraco 13 and other Umbraco versions
New updates are continuously released for Umbraco with bug fixes, new features and security improvements. There has been a lot of focus on Umbraco 7 End of Life (EOL) in the past – and for good reason.
Umbraco 7 was launched in 2013 and only reached EOL 10 years later, in September 2023. Normally, it only takes 1–3 years before an Umbraco version reaches its EOL, depending on whether it is an STS or LTS version.
The current LTS (Long Term Support) version is Umbraco 13, which was launched in December 2023. This version is supported with updates until December 2026 – and with security updates until December 2027. The next LTS version, Umbraco 17, is expected to be launched in November 2025.
Umbraco 10, which was previously an LTS version, reached EOL in June 2025. If your solution is based on Umbraco 10 or an older version, we therefore recommend an upgrade to Umbraco 13.
Please note that there is no easy upgrade from Umbraco 7 or 8 to newer versions. Umbraco has made major changes to the codebase in version 9 and onwards, including the switch to .NET Core, and therefore this is a migration, not just an update.
If you need to migrate your Umbraco solution to a newer version, e.g. Umbraco 13, we are ready to help. Call us on tel. +45 87 25 07 87 or fill out the contact form, then we will contact you as soon as possible.
