Umbraco Development
Super, Bold Websites. Umbraco CMS got game.
Modern Logic builds beautiful, accessible websites that showcase your brand’s style, with editing integrated into the Umbraco block editor. When we take care of the blocking, your content team can go deep and your designers are wide open.
Umbraco Back Office
Be your own quarterback
Whether it’s a marketing site or a data-dense government site, your team calls the plays without going off-brand.
You never have to punt on editing, either. Blocks encapsulate the atomic elements of the design, so an editor is choosing between good options instead of staring at a blank canvas — and when we implement Umbraco we play the whole field, not just the parts that are quick to stand up.
- Meaningful block previews, not a wall of field names
- Sensible options and guardrails on every block
- Native content models, Block Grid, and media library
- ModelsBuilder, custom property editors, and backoffice extensions
Umbraco is fast when you build it that way. We do.
Server-rendered markup, responsive images, lean components, and no JavaScript where JavaScript isn’t needed. Add a CDN and it scales beautifully.
Tables? Images? Handoff to Us
No need to throw the challenge flag
The content types that usually turn into a mess are components too.
Image component
Select images from the media library, set a focal point so crops stay sensible at every size, and add accessible alt text right where the image is chosen.
Table component
A spreadsheet-like editing experience, with adjustable columns, filtering, and CSV import — instead of hand-built markup that breaks on a phone.
Headings and sections
Headings and sections are structured blocks, so editors can scan the page hierarchy instead of reverse-engineering it from a rich-text field.
Time Out for Accessibility
Accessible output is the normal output
Accessibility is not a QA pass bolted onto the end of the project. It’s what the components do by default — which is how accessibility survives years of content edits.
- Tab order and keyboard navigation
- Visible focus rings
- WCAG AA
- Navigation and SEO that work without JavaScript
Hosting
Host at home or away
Umbraco runs where it makes sense for your organization, and we’ll operate it either way.
Your on-prem servers
If your organization’s policy is that the application runs on hardware you own, we deploy it there and work with your internal IT the whole way.
Your cloud
Your Azure tenant, your subscription, your governance — including development, test, and production environments, storage, and automated deployments.
Our cloud
Or pass us the ball. We’ll set it up on our infrastructure and handle hosting, monitoring, upgrades, and platform maintenance.
Umbraco FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about building on Umbraco, inheriting an existing one, and running it after launch.
Can Umbraco be used to build a completely custom website design?
Yes. Modern Logic builds fully custom Umbraco websites rather than relying on prebuilt themes. Umbraco manages the content; the frontend is designed and engineered specifically for your brand and users.
Can Umbraco support a custom design system?
Yes. Modern Logic can turn a custom design system into reusable Umbraco components, design tokens, layout options, and editor controls so pages remain visually consistent as the site grows.
What is editing actually like for the content team?
Modern Logic uses Umbraco’s Block Grid, meaningful previews, and controlled options so editors can build flexible pages without writing HTML or drifting outside the design system.
Can the Umbraco backoffice be customized?
Yes. Modern Logic can extend the Umbraco backoffice with custom property editors, block previews, editor controls, validation, and other tools that make complicated content easier to manage.
Can images and media be customized in Umbraco?
Yes. Modern Logic can customize Umbraco media workflows with features such as focal-point-aware image crops, consistent aspect ratios, structured image components, alt-text assistance, and migration of existing media libraries.
Can Umbraco websites be accessible?
Yes. Modern Logic builds accessibility into Umbraco components, navigation, forms, color systems, keyboard interactions, and semantic markup so accessibility is part of the implementation rather than a final QA step.
Can Umbraco websites be fast?
Yes. Modern Logic builds Umbraco sites with performance in mind, using efficient server-rendered markup, optimized frontend assets, responsive images, progressive enhancement, and carefully designed components instead of unnecessary client-side code.
Can Umbraco handle news, events, directories, and other application-like features?
Yes. Modern Logic builds structured content and custom functionality for news, events, directories, locations, filtered listings, portals, and other data-driven features directly in Umbraco.
Can Umbraco support custom search?
Yes. Modern Logic can build search experiences around an Umbraco site’s actual content model, including custom indexing, filtering, pagination, result presentation, and integration with external search services when needed.
Can Modern Logic take over or upgrade an existing Umbraco website?
Yes. Modern Logic can inherit an existing Umbraco site, understand its architecture, fix problems, add features, modernize it, and safely upgrade older implementations.
Can content be migrated into Umbraco from another CMS?
Yes. Modern Logic builds migration tooling to move content, media, page hierarchies, metadata, redirects, and other structured information into Umbraco without relying on months of manual copying and pasting.
Can Umbraco integrate with other business systems and identity providers?
Yes. Modern Logic can integrate Umbraco with APIs, search platforms, identity providers, databases, internal applications, document systems, and other services using custom .NET development — including Microsoft identity services and other authentication or authorization systems when a project requires them.
Can Umbraco be hosted in Azure with automated deployments?
Yes. Modern Logic builds and operates Umbraco in Azure with separate environments, monitoring, version-controlled configuration, and automated deployments.
Can Umbraco support multiple websites or sections from one implementation?
Yes. Modern Logic can architect Umbraco installations for multiple sites, brands, departments, or content areas when sharing a common platform makes sense.
Is Umbraco a good choice for government and public-sector websites?
Yes. Umbraco is a strong fit for public-sector sites that need structured content, accessibility, editorial controls, integrations, and long-term maintainability. Modern Logic has built large public-sector Umbraco websites with those requirements.
Does Modern Logic provide ongoing Umbraco support after launch?
Yes. Modern Logic provides ongoing Umbraco development, upgrades, security maintenance, hosting support, troubleshooting, feature development, and help for teams that need long-term technical ownership.
How do I choose between Umbraco and WordPress?
Neither platform is universally better. The right choice depends on content structure, editor needs, required integrations, application functionality, existing technology, governance, and budget. Modern Logic develops both WordPress and Umbraco sites, so we can evaluate those requirements without forcing the project toward one CMS. There is a side-by-side comparison on our WordPress and Umbraco page.
Talk to an Umbraco developer.
Bring us the site you have, the content your team is fighting, and the things you’ve been told aren’t possible. We’ll tell you where Umbraco fits, where it doesn’t, and what it would actually take to build.
Or email sales@modernlogic.io
We build both WordPress and Umbraco, so the recommendation is not a sales pitch.
