Umbraco is an open source content management system that is used for creating and managing websites and applications. Unlike many CMS systems out there, Umbraco is heavily focused towards organisations that require a wide range of customisation and bespoke integrations. Because it is part of the .NET framework, it is highly regarded for it's performance and security and is used by some of the worlds biggest organisations. Users of Umbraco can opt to use the original, downloadable CMS version or their cloud based version - Umbraco Cloud.
Umbraco offers businesses an all in one CMS platform for building and managing websites. It offers tools for website design, build and deployment as well as on-going management. However, there are some additional features on offer from Umbraco that differentiate it from other CMS platforms, here we take a look at some of them.
As we have already alluded to above, Umbraco is very much targeted towards businesses that require high levels of customisation for their websites. It supports a number of different programming languages, the most popular being C# and provides a variety of tools that allows oganisations to add new features and customisations to their websites. This is widely hailed as one of the biggest benefits of using Umbraco.
The Umbraco platform is widely regarded for being user friendly, even for those who are non technical. This makes it an attractive choice for organisations that require regular content editing, creation and publication without the involvement of a developer.
Another core feature of Umbraco is that it allows organisations to manage content across multiple sites from the same platform, particularly useful for businesses who might have different regions or brands under their company name.
Whilst we have already touched on Umbraco being a secure CMS choice, it is worth another mention because it is widely regarded as one of the most secure CMS platforms on the market today.
Umbraco can most definitely be a cost effective option for some organisations although that is not true for all businesses. Due to it's open source nature, there are no licensing fees, it offers a free version that can be sufficient for many organisations and it's community driven model means all updates including security patches are bug fixes are shared free of charge.
