What Is Umbraco?

Umbraco is a modern, open-source content management system built on Microsoft’s .NET platform. It powers everything from small marketing sites to large enterprise platforms with complex content structures and integrations. Known for its flexibility, clean codebase, and intuitive editing experience, Umbraco gives developers and marketers full control over how digital experiences are created and managed. It can be hosted on your own infrastructure or in the cloud, making it a smart fit for organizations of all sizes.

Editor-Friendly CMS

Umbraco's back office is clean, fast, and intuitive for non-technical users. Editors can easily manage pages, media, and workflows without relying on developers to make content updates.

Built on .NET for Full Flexibility

Umbraco is built on ASP.NET, giving developers a familiar and powerful framework to build custom features, integrations, and scalable applications. It supports headless, hybrid, and traditional CMS architectures.

No Licensing Fees

As an open-source platform, Umbraco offers enterprise-level functionality without the high cost of proprietary systems. You get complete ownership and freedom to build what you need without paying per user or per site.
