Built on the .NET framework, Umbraco is an open-source content management system (CMS), primarily designed for managing digital content on websites, intranets, and applications.

With frequent performance reviews, security patches and bug fixes, Umbraco is actively maintained and regularly updated, with the latest version (Umbraco 13), due for release in December 2023. Alongside security updates, Umbraco 13 brings a host of benefits including enhanced usability, performance, and flexibility as a content management system (CMS).

Here are some of the key advantages:

  • Improved performance: Umbraco 13 offers optimizations that lead to faster loading times and improved responsiveness, making it suitable for high-traffic websites
  • Enhanced user interface (UI): the back-office interface has been refined for better user experience, making it easier for content editors and developers to navigate and manage content
  • Headless CMS capabilities: with the growing demand for headless architecture, Umbraco 13 supports headless implementations; allowing developers to use it as a content API while delivering across multiple platforms
  • Support for .NET 6: built on .NET 6, Umbraco 13 benefits from improved performance, security, and long-term support, ensuring that developers can leverage the latest technologies
  • Better content modelling: enhanced content modelling features provide more flexible and intuitive ways to structure content, making it easier to manage complex content hierarchies
  • Improved media management: upgrades to the media library allow for better organization, tagging, and handling of media files, ultimately helping to simplify the management of assets
  • Multi-language support: Umbraco 13 offers better tools for managing multilingual sites, making it easier to cater to diverse audiences.

These features make Umbraco 13 a powerful choice for developers and organizations looking for a robust, flexible, and user-friendly CMS.
