What is Umbraco, I hear you cry? Quite simply, it's the most
brilliant Content Management System there is. It's open
source, easy to use and powers some of the biggest and most popular
websites in the world.
It differs from a lot of other CMSs: there's very little to see,
it doesn't come pre-configured with blog packages or news feeds.
To the untrained eye, it seems very spartan indeed.
This is a not a negative, however - it is Umbraco's greatest
strength. The structure allows us to build websites incredibly
quickly from scratch, just the way we want them. Blogs and News
modules can be tailored to the exact requirements of the client,
whereas we would argue that trying to do the same with prebuilt
modules in a CMS (e.g. Site Finity from Telerik), is significantly
more labour-intensive.
Umbraco's XML-based content storage is lightning quick, so pages
can be served with minimal server resources, even with large
volumes of traffic to your site. Logical content storage and rich
API, combined with a super-clean markup storage mechanism mean that
what you get out of Umbraco is exactly what you want - no extras,
no bloating, just clean, elegant code. Not only is Umbraco one of
the best open source content management systems available, it's one
of the best content management systems available, period.
Umbraco is growing rapidly and is now used to power sites from
Sony, Heinz, Wired and Take That. It has a massive support
from an extremely active community, meaning that bugs are fixed
quickly and new features are available on a daily basis.
We love Umbraco, we think you will too - and to prove our
commitment we've built our website and our entire business
model around it.
