Our Promise
Your platform should fit your business—not the other way around.
We begin with questions. Together we find the answers.
WordPress and Umbraco are both powerful, proven, open-source content management systems. We work deeply in both, so our recommendation is based on what will make your organization successful—not on the only tool we know how to sell.
The Platforms
WordPress or Umbraco? Both—built right.
Two platforms, one team that works deeply in both.
WordPress: Move fast. Market freely. Sell more.
WordPress is the world’s most flexible publishing platform for a reason. It gives marketing teams an intuitive editing experience, an enormous ecosystem, and a direct path from idea to launch. In the hands of serious developers, it can power far more than a brochure site.
The right fit for
- Marketing and corporate websites
- Content-rich publishing and blogging
- WooCommerce and online sales
- Campaign landing pages
- Membership and gated-content experiences
- Organizations that want a familiar editor experience and rapid iteration
What Modern Logic delivers
- Custom themes that express your brand without boxing editors in
- Reusable content components for fast, consistent page creation
- WooCommerce development and business-system integration
- Careful plugin selection and custom plugin development
- Secure managed hosting with automated update testing
- Migration from Wix, Squarespace, Drupal, legacy WordPress, and custom systems
WordPress gives you speed and freedom. Modern Logic gives it the engineering discipline to stay fast, secure, and maintainable.
Umbraco: Built for structure. Ready for complexity.
Umbraco combines a famously friendly editing experience with the power of modern .NET. It excels when content is complex, governance matters, integrations run deep, or the website must live comfortably inside a Microsoft and Azure ecosystem.
The right fit for
- Government and public-sector websites
- Large organizations with complex, structured content
- Multisite, multibrand, and multilingual platforms
- Granular permissions and editorial governance
- Microsoft, .NET, SQL Server, and Azure environments
- Headless and omnichannel content delivery
What Modern Logic delivers
- Custom Umbraco architecture and .NET development
- Purpose-built content models and editor experiences
- Azure hosting, deployment, monitoring, and security
- Enterprise search and advanced system integrations
- Large-scale automated content migration
- Upgrades, maintenance, and long-term platform support
Umbraco handles complexity without making content management complicated. Modern Logic makes the full platform work as one dependable system.

Beyond the CMS
The rest of the problem, handled
Content migration — without the chaos.
We use repeatable migration tooling to extract, transform, map, and validate content from legacy websites and content management systems. We preserve valuable URLs, create redirect maps, identify content problems, and systematically verify the result. We have successfully handled websites with thousands of pages because migration should be an engineered process—not a season of copying and pasting.
Business integrations — your website should work with the rest of your business.
We connect websites to CRMs, ERPs, identity providers, payment systems, product data, document stores, marketing platforms, and custom APIs. The result is a seamless flow of information, fewer manual steps, and a website that does real work for customers and employees.
Search and AI — help every visitor find the right answer.
We build search experiences that go far beyond a basic keyword box. That includes carefully tuned site search, stemming and relevance through OpenSearch, unified search across multiple websites and document collections, and AI-powered semantic search that understands what a person means—not just the exact words they typed.
Accessibility — part of the build.
We incorporate accessible structure, keyboard navigation, readable contrast, semantic markup, responsive behavior, and assistive-technology testing throughout design and development. Accessibility is not a report we run the night before launch. It is part of how a professional website gets made.
SEO and AEO — built to be found, and understood.
Search visibility starts with sound architecture. We build in clean URLs, redirects, metadata, structured content, performance, crawlability, and measurement from the beginning. We also structure content clearly for the answer engines and AI tools that increasingly shape how customers discover businesses.
Security and hosting — secure, current, and actively managed.
A website is only secure when someone is accountable for keeping it that way. Our WordPress hosting includes automated update testing through a world-class managed platform. Our Umbraco support follows a deliberate release and deployment cadence. In both cases, we monitor the system, keep the platform current, and respond when something needs attention.
Why Modern Logic
When the problem goes beyond the website, we don't run out of road.
Most website problems do not stay neatly inside the website. A login fails because of identity configuration. Search breaks because of an indexing pipeline. Performance collapses because of a database query. A launch stalls because DNS, cloud infrastructure, and deployment automation are not aligned.
Modern Logic is an engineering company that builds websites. Our senior developers understand the entire system beneath the page, so the hard problems do not get bounced between vendors while you wait.
- Senior engineers involved from discovery through launch
- An in-house, Minnesota-based team
- Deep experience across WordPress, Umbraco, .NET, React, SQL, AWS, and Azure
- Comfortable working with marketing leaders, executives, internal IT, and outside vendors
- Fast answers, direct communication, and clear accountability
- The technical depth to solve the problem wherever it actually lives
How We Work
Our delivery process
-
Discover
Get the whole problem on the table.
We interview stakeholders, audit the existing content, study users, document integrations, and understand the operational realities around the site. The result is a clear strategy, platform recommendation, scope, and technical plan.
-
Design
Make the experience clear before making it complicated.
We define information architecture, user journeys, page systems, and visual direction together. Visitors can find what they need, editors can manage it confidently, and the design has enough flexibility to grow without becoming inconsistent.
-
Build and migrate
Turn the plan into dependable software.
Our team develops reusable components, integrations, content models, and migration tooling using maintainable code and disciplined review. Quality assurance covers functionality, accessibility, performance, search, content, and real devices.
-
Launch and improve
Cross the finish line—and keep going.
We prepare redirects, coordinate infrastructure, train editors, manage the launch, and monitor the result. Afterward, our support and maintenance plans keep the platform current while giving you a responsive team for the next improvement.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should we choose WordPress or Umbraco?
Choose WordPress when marketing flexibility, publishing speed, WooCommerce, and a broad ecosystem are the biggest priorities. Choose Umbraco when structured content, Microsoft integration, governance, multisite delivery, or enterprise complexity carry more weight. Modern Logic works in both, so we will recommend the platform that best fits your organization and explain the decision clearly.
Is WordPress secure enough for a serious business website?
Absolutely. WordPress security depends on disciplined architecture, reputable extensions, managed hosting, timely updates, tested deployments, and active ownership. We provide all of those. The platform is not the security strategy; the way it is built and managed is.
What is Umbraco?
Umbraco is an open-source content management system built on modern Microsoft .NET. It combines a clean, friendly editor experience with the flexibility to create sophisticated websites, portals, and headless content platforms. It is an especially strong fit for organizations already invested in Microsoft technology and Azure.
Can you improve our current website instead of replacing it?
Yes. We can audit, stabilize, upgrade, redesign, extend, or support an existing WordPress or Umbraco implementation. If the current foundation is sound, we will build on it. If replacement is the smarter investment, we will show you exactly why.
Can you migrate our content from another CMS?
Yes. We migrate from WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore, Wix, Squarespace, custom .NET systems, databases, APIs, and static files. Our process covers content transformation, media, metadata, URL mapping, redirects, validation, and launch quality assurance. We have successfully migrated websites containing thousands of pages.
Can you integrate with our other business systems?
Yes. We integrate websites with CRMs, ERPs, identity providers, product systems, payment platforms, document repositories, marketing automation, analytics, and custom APIs. Our engineers design the integration for accuracy, security, observability, and long-term maintainability.
Do you support multisite and multilingual websites?
Yes. We design and support multisite, multibrand, multiregion, and multilingual ecosystems in both WordPress and Umbraco. We establish what should be shared, what must remain independent, how content moves between sites, and how editors maintain control.
Can the website run in our cloud environment?
Yes. We can deploy into your AWS or Azure environment, including agency-owned and enterprise-managed accounts. We also offer managed hosting when you want Modern Logic to take direct responsibility for the platform.
What happens after launch?
We remain your development partner. Our maintenance and support plans cover platform updates, monitoring, issue response, new pages, integrations, feature development, and continuous improvement. We cross the finish line and keep going.
How long does a website project take?
A focused marketing website can launch in a matter of weeks. A large website with custom integrations and substantial migration typically takes several months. After discovery, we provide a clear schedule with decisions, dependencies, milestones, and a launch plan your team can rely on.
Can you improve our website's search?
Yes. We build everything from well-tuned native search to cross-site search with OpenSearch and AI-powered semantic retrieval. We choose the simplest technology that delivers an excellent result and make relevance measurable and adjustable.
Will our staff be able to manage the site?
Yes. We build the editing experience around the people who will use it, provide appropriate control without unnecessary complexity, and deliver hands-on training before launch. Your team will be ready to create and maintain content confidently.
You don't need to choose the platform before you call us.
