Umbraco

Our story of striking gold

In the beginning

As a startup we tried to save costs where ever we could, from sharing a desk, getting office space in return for network support and more. So when it came to building our website we had a few criteria for a content management system - it had to be:

  • Open source
  • Based on Microsoft technology
  • Work

Fortunately for us we chose the Umbraco CMS which 13 years and over 300 version updates later has gone from strength to strength.

People looking for a website saw what we had created and asked if we could do something similar for them - you might laugh now but it was fashionable in 2010!

The present

A few interactions with the Umbraco team, a demo of the technical roadmap and their partner support plans made the decision to commit to becoming a Gold Partner a no brainer. 

With the experience of nearly 100 Umbraco websites under our belt and the product getting better and better we have never been more excited about the future.
