As a Tech Director, you’re at the helm of your organisation’s digital evolution. Your role is to bring together technology, strategy, and execution to create solutions that drive measurable results. Whether you’re building a new website or overhauling an outdated platform, the stakes couldn’t be higher. You need a CMS that aligns with your business goals, a platform that’s adaptable, secure, and future-proof and which returns real value back into the business. 

That’s where Umbraco—and the right Umbraco partner—comes in. 

At Dog, we’ve spent years working alongside Tech Directors, delivering bespoke solutions that meet the needs of complex organisations. In this article we explore, how our approach ensures your new website is a launchpad for growth. 

The Challenge: A Website That Does It All 

Modern websites aren’t just online brochures—they’re sophisticated, multi-functional hubs that integrate with CRMs, manage e-commerce transactions, deliver analytics, and provide seamless user experiences across devices. 

As a Tech Director, you’re likely juggling: 

• Tight Deadlines: Stakeholders need results yesterday. 
• Complex Requirements: From third-party integrations to custom functionality, your website needs to do more than ever before. 
• Scalability: Today’s solution must support tomorrow’s growth. 
• Security Concerns: Cyber threats are real, and your platform must be resilient. 

Building a website that meets all these demands requires more than just a great CMS—it requires a partner who understands the challenges you face and has the expertise to overcome them. 

Why Umbraco Is the Perfect CMS for Complex Projects 

Umbraco is an open-source content management system designed to be flexible, powerful, and user-friendly. It’s a favourite among Tech Directors for several reasons: 

1. Customisation: Umbraco allows you to build exactly what you need—no compromises. 
2. Integrations: It’s built to integrate seamlessly with your existing tools, whether it’s a CRM, ERP, or bespoke application. 
3. Scalability: Whether you’re running a single site or managing a multi-site infrastructure, Umbraco can scale with ease.

But the platform is only part of the equation.
