Umbraco — Open-source flexibility with the editorial experience your team deserves.

A CMS your editors will actually enjoy using. That's not a small thing.

The situation.

Umbraco is known as the "friendly" CMS for a reason. It combines open-source flexibility with an editorial interface that content teams actually enjoy using — without the licensing costs of commercial platforms or the limitations of proprietary systems.

For organizations that need a powerful, extensible .NET CMS without the overhead of a full digital experience platform, Umbraco consistently delivers. We're an Umbraco Platinum Partner with over ten years of production work and an Umbraco Certified Master Developer on staff.

Why Umbraco.

Umbraco's content editing experience is one of the strongest in the CMS market. Content teams can manage complex content structures, preview changes, and publish confidently — without needing developer support for routine tasks.

Its open-source model means a global community of developers contributing to the platform, full control over the codebase, and no vendor lock-in. And without commercial licensing fees, Umbraco lowers the total cost of ownership.

What Blend brings to Umbraco projects.

Over a decade of Umbraco work has taught us how to get the most from the platform — from sophisticated content modeling to complex integrations to performance optimization. We know what Umbraco handles natively, where custom development adds value, and how to configure the editorial experience so your team is productive from day one.

We're also active in the Umbraco community — contributing to open-source projects, writing about what we've learned, and presenting at Umbraco events.

Case Studies

A few Umbraco projects we're proud of.

Our contributions to Friendly content management.

Through custom Umbraco packages, we've created solutions for both Umbraco developers and editors. For example, let us introduce you to our AltTextAI package, which allows editors to use AI to assign AltText to any image added to a site, making it easier to continue to meet accessibility best practices.

Our commitment to Umbraco

We've explored and built with different coding languages and platforms – yet we kept coming back to Umbraco.

Frequently asked questions.

Is Umbraco enterprise-ready?

Yes. Umbraco powers sites for organizations of all sizes, including multi-site enterprise installations. Umbraco Cloud provides enterprise-grade managed hosting with automatic updates and scaling. For self-hosted deployments, the platform handles complex content models and high-traffic volumes reliably.

Can Blend migrate our site to Umbraco from another platform?

Absolutely. We've migrated sites to Umbraco from WordPress, Drupal, Ektron, Sitecore, and custom-built platforms. Our migration process includes content auditing, content model mapping, automated migration scripting, redirect planning, and post-migration validation. [Learn more about migration →]

What is Umbraco Cloud?

Umbraco Cloud is a managed hosting platform from Umbraco HQ, built on Microsoft Azure. It bundles software, licensing, and hosting into a single predictable cost — with automatic security patches, minor updates, and scaling handled by the platform. It simplifies infrastructure management and lets your team focus on content and features rather than server maintenance.

How active is Umbraco's development community?

Very. Umbraco has one of the most active open-source CMS communities in the .NET ecosystem. Regular releases, an extensive package ecosystem, and community-driven contributions keep the platform current. Blend contributes to this community through code, articles, and participation in Umbraco events.
