From Umbraco 7 to Umbraco 13? We’ve got you covered.
Before we begin, we take a close look at your current setup. We review the version you’re running, the packages and dependencies in use, the volume and structure of your content, and any custom functionality you rely on. This helps us identify risks, scope the work accurately, and recommend the most efficient upgrade path, whether that’s a lift-and-shift, partial rebuild, or full redevelopment.
Upgrading isn’t just about code; your content and media need to come too. We’ll map your content structure, document types, and media library, then safely transfer your data to the new site. We’re experienced in preserving relationships between content items, maintaining URLs (where needed for SEO), and ensuring clean, consistent content structures.
Quality is non-negotiable. Once the upgrade is implemented, we test every aspect of your new site. When everything is ready, we’ll handle the deployment with care. Our go-live process is designed to minimise downtime and disruption. We’ll plan the best time to launch, create rollback plans just in case, and coordinate closely with your team to make sure everything goes smoothly. After launch, we remain on hand to address any teething issues or questions.
Once you’re live on the latest version, we won’t disappear. We offer flexible support packages to help you stay secure, up to date, and fully in control of your Umbraco site. This can include patch updates, performance monitoring, new feature development, or training for your content team. We can also host your site on managed infrastructure optimised for Umbraco.

Got some questions?
Why do I need to upgrade my Umbraco website?
Older versions of Umbraco, such as 7 and 8, are no longer supported with security patches or updates. Upgrading keeps your site secure, compatible with modern technologies, and easier to maintain. You'll also benefit from improved performance, a better editing experience, and access to new features.
Can I upgrade directly from Umbraco 7 or 8 to 13?
Not directly — Umbraco 9 introduced a complete shift to .NET Core, meaning a full rebuild is typically required when moving from older versions. We help you plan and execute this transition, ensuring your content and functionality are carried across seamlessly.
How long does an Umbraco upgrade take?
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of your site, the version you’re upgrading from, and the volume of content. We’ll provide a clear timeline as part of our initial audit and proposal.
Will I lose any content or data during the upgrade?
No, we take great care to migrate all your content, media, and key settings. We map your existing content structure to the new setup and test thoroughly to ensure everything is carried over correctly. You’ll also have time to review the site before it goes live.
What happens to my custom features or integrations?
We’ll assess any custom functionality, APIs, or third-party integrations during the initial audit. Some code may need rewriting to be compatible with newer versions, and we’ll advise you on the best approach — whether it’s refactoring or replacing with modern equivalents.
Can you help us redesign the site at the same time?
Absolutely. Many clients choose to refresh their design or improve UX as part of the upgrade. We can combine the technical upgrade with a redesign or rebrand, saving time and giving your users an enhanced experience.
What support do you offer after the upgrade?
We offer ongoing maintenance and support packages tailored to your needs — from patch updates and performance monitoring to training, hosting, and future improvements. We’ll make sure your site remains stable, secure and easy to manage.
