Why choose an Umbraco Gold Partner?

Website audit and health-check

We offer expert discovery and analysis to gain a deep understanding of your pain points and objectives. Our team of Umbraco certified developers can conduct an audit of the existing implementation, checking whether best practice has been followed and provide recommendations on how improvements can be made.

Migrate your Umbraco website to a new agency

We can support you during the migration process. It’s not as complicated as you might suspect! Our support and maintenance capabilities give our clients comfort that their Umbraco sites are in safe hands, and we can help you transition, putting a clear migration plan in place that makes things simple and moving away from your current provider as painless as possible.

The benefits of using Umbraco

Powerful CMS to enhance user experience

We’ve been working with content management systems for 20 years and learned a lot in this time. When launching a new website, it’s not just about creating a great user experience (which we do). It’s also about ensuring you create the best content editing experience. The flexible nature of Umbraco and it’s extensive library of ‘add-ons’, allows us to adapt and meet your unique requirements without constraining you to a ‘one size fits all’ solution.

Cloud hosting with Umbraco

SaaS, on-premise, or hybrid deployments are all catered for with Umbraco. Umbraco Cloud is a fully managed SaaS offering, taking the pain away from managing your own hosting platform. Should you be looking to meet specific security requirements or very high levels of availability, CDS can provide bespoke, fully managed hosting services as we do for Digital Policing and Social Work England.

Headless CMS for diverse content delivery

Alongside the traditional CMS, Umbraco also offers a headless CMS allowing for omnichannel delivery, providing content to websites, single-page applications, mobile apps, and more, whilst maintaining the user-friendly editing experience.
