Stay ahead with upgrades and managed services

Keeping your CMS up-to-date is essential—not just for accessing new features, but for ensuring security, compatibility, and long-term performance. With Umbraco, regular upgrades and managed services make it easier than ever to maintain a seamless digital experience.

Why upgrading matters
  • Avoid End-of-Life (EOL) risks: Major versions like Umbraco 8 (EOL in February 2025) and Umbraco 10 (EOL in June 2025) will no longer receive updates or security patches, leaving your site vulnerable to security threats and operational issues.
  • Access new features: Upgrading ensures you benefit from the latest functionalities, keeping your digital presence competitive and user-friendly.
Plan your upgrade with confidence

If you’re running an older version of Umbraco, now is the perfect time to upgrade. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Determine your current Umbraco version.
  2. Review any custom integrations or plugins that might need updating.
  3. Partner with an experienced team to ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption.
Simplify CMS management with Managed Services

Managed services take the hassle out of CMS management, ensuring your website is always secure, up-to-date, and optimised for peak performance.

  • Proactive monitoring: Potential issues are identified and resolved before they impact your users.
  • Automatic updates: Your CMS stays on the latest version, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities.
  • Enhanced security: Regular updates protect your site from emerging threats.

With managed, cloud-based services, you can focus on your business while we handle the rest—minimising downtime and maximising efficiency.
