Unlock Flexibility and Savings: The Benefits of a Non-Licensed CMS

 

Cost Efficiency and Flexibility

Choosing a non-licensed CMS like Umbraco provides significant cost advantages over license-based platforms. With no recurring licensing fees, businesses can allocate their budgets towards development, customisation, and long-term growth rather than paying for access to the CMS. This also eliminates the risk of being locked into annual contracts, allowing businesses to scale flexibly. With a non-licensed CMS, you're only paying for the features and support you truly need, making it an ideal solution for organisations looking to optimise their digital investments.

Control and Customisation

Another key benefit of a non-licensed CMS is the increased control and customisation it offers. Open-source platforms like Umbraco empower developers to create tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of your organisation. Unlike licensed CMS platforms, which may restrict you to pre-packaged features, a non-licensed CMS allows you to innovate and build without limitations. Additionally, the open-source community provides ongoing support, security updates, and improvements, ensuring that your CMS stays current and adaptable without waiting for vendor-specific updates.

Open Source CMS’s like Umbraco offers cost savings with no licensing fees and provides full flexibility to customise the platform according to your specific needs. Its open-source nature makes it scalable and ideal for businesses looking for control and growth without added costs.

Microsoft and Umbraco Cloud Foundation

At Effect, we use both Microsoft Azure and Umbraco Cloud for website hosting to meet a range of client needs. Microsoft Azure offers a scalable, secure hosting environment with data centres in Sydney, ensuring excellent performance and fast load times for New Zealand audiences. Meanwhile, Umbraco Cloud, also hosted out of Sydney, provides a streamlined platform for managing content and updates, ideal for dynamic websites. By combining these two hosting solutions, we deliver dependable, high-performance websites suited to various project demands.

 

Our hosting Security

Microsoft Azure provides enterprise-grade security features, including advanced threat detection, data encryption, and compliance with stringent international security standards, ensuring data safety and integrity. Umbraco Cloud complements this with a secure, managed hosting environment that includes automatic updates, daily backups, and data encryption, all hosted in Sydney-based data centres for added peace of mind. By using either of these two trusted platforms, we prioritise security to protect your data and provide a resilient, reliable hosting solution.
