10 Reasons Why We Love Umbraco
New Year, New Website!
At Dog, we believe in building digital experiences that are as unique as the businesses we work with. That’s why we’re huge fans of Umbraco and have been an Umbraco partner agency for over 13 years —the flexible, user-friendly content management system (CMS) that empowers organisations to take control of their digital presence.
Whether you’re a Tech Director looking for scalability or a marketing team in need of simplicity, Umbraco offers the perfect balance of power and usability. Here are ten reasons why we think Umbraco is the ultimate CMS for businesses looking to grow and innovate.
1. Open Source, Open Opportunities
Umbraco’s open-source nature is a game-changer. It gives us the freedom to craft bespoke solutions tailored to your exact needs, without being tied to rigid templates or unnecessary restrictions. With no licensing fees, it’s a cost-effective choice that doesn’t compromise on quality.
2. Designed for Everyone
From tech-savvy developers to content managers who just want things to work, Umbraco is designed with every user in mind. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for teams to create, update, and manage content without needing advanced technical skills.
3. Seamless Integrations
Modern businesses rely on interconnected tools, and Umbraco excels in this area. Whether you need to integrate your CRM, e-commerce platform, or marketing automation tools, Umbraco’s flexibility ensures everything works together seamlessly.
4. Scalability That Grows With You
One of Umbraco’s standout features is its ability to scale effortlessly. Whether you’re running a small business website or managing an enterprise-level digital platform, Umbraco can handle your growth without breaking a sweat.
