Enterprise Content Management

Umbraco Customization

Umbraco's CMS is a powerful and flexible Content Management System is open source and allows our developers to modify the platform to suit your specific needs. We choose Umbraco because it does not force us to create solutions that work for Umbraco first, and the client second. If you need a fully integrate website with backend or third-party tools and processes, Umbraco is our go-to product.

– Reasons Why –

Content Control

Content contributors have varying degrees of education and understandings of the corporate philosophy towards content, strategy and accessibility compliance. Umbraco separates the presentation layer from the content editing layer to ensure that a contributor never departs from established protocols or content requirements.

Scalability

The Umbraco system can handle heavy traffic loads due to the aggressive caching system that's baked into the software. 

Content As Data

Some CMS approaches think of content as simply strings of text, images, or documents. Umbraco's model is to think of the content on your screen as part of a larger, underlying data model. This allows you to use your content in multiple places, integrate it with external systems and APIs and divorce your content from the requirements of the User Interface.

Longevity & Support

When you're evaluating making customizations to a website CMS, you need to ensure that your solutions will have longevity and will be supported by a robust community; Umbraco and Microsoft are well-established players in the industry and continue to grow.
