your Umbraco Partner?

18 Years of Umbraco expertise

We discovered Umbraco in 2008 and became the first UK dedicated Umbraco Partner in 2009. We were one of the first Gold Partners globally and founded the Umbraco UK Festival, which is now one of the largest Umbraco conferences in the world. Since then we've shipped over 470 Umbraco projects across sectors with one goal: to continuously drive digital momentum for organisations.

Long-term Umbraco partnerships

Umbraco versions reach End-of-Life, security shifts, and your editors need more than they did last year. You want a partner who stays for the long term, patching, watching, improving, and telling you what's next. When you work with us, you're joining partnerships that last seven years on average. Digital momentum is easier to keep than to restart.

An Umbraco Contributing Partner

Work with a team where Umbraco innovation never stops. As a Contributing Gold Partner consultancy, our clients get access to our Umbraco packages and the knowledge of how to use them for impact. Our CogFlare package helped Russell-Cooke achieve 87% greener infrastructure, lower hosting costs and 88% faster performance. All our packages are free to use and ready to apply to your projects.

Secure, compliant Umbraco solutions as standard

Your teams can focus on the digital project, not on chasing compliance evidence. Our security, compliance and performance credentials are clear and upfront. As a Cyber Essentials Plus certified Umbraco Gold Partner, every build meets WCAG and OWASP standards, with A-rated security and a 98% average performance score across projects.

Ways to work with us

Ways to work with us

Launch, stabilise and grow with Umbraco

Migrations to Umbraco

With enterprise capability, optional AI-ready infrastructure and zero licence fees, Umbraco is the platform of choice for many. Move off any CMS: Sitecore, Optimizely, WordPress, Kentico or Drupal. Get a fixed timeline, editor training, and content architecture and user experiences that make sense and drive action.

Umbraco for Enterprise

Accelerate Umbraco website delivery without sacrifice. Orama Studio is our proven Umbraco website starter kit that typically saves our clients around six months of build time and £175,000 compared to building from scratch. You get a complete backoffice, 30+ WCAG 2.1 AA components, full customisation, and more.

Umbraco Upgrade

Beat the End-of-Life deadlines. Stay compliant, secure and innovative when you take your ageing Umbraco CMS to the latest stable version. We smoothly upgrade you from any version from V8 through to V16. Fixed timeline. Fixed price. Zero downtime. Zero stress.

Backoffice Streamline Audit

Give your Umbraco content editors a backoffice they love. Every doctype, block and template is scanned, classified and given a keep, remove or merge decision, alongside what your editors tell us actually slows them down.

Umbraco Health Check

Find out what's slowing your Umbraco site down. Umbraco-certified developers audit front-end performance, code quality, backoffice configuration, infrastructure and security. Get every finding rated imperative, important or recommended, with a fix plan.

Umbraco Platform Assurance

Keep your Umbraco platform fast, secure and improving. SLA-backed support, proactive monitoring and a scheduled security cadence mean critical incidents are answered within the hour and compliance evidence stays current.

Want to make Umbraco work for you?

From Sitecore to Umbraco: 4,500 pages. 12 weeks. One honest process.

Smith & Williamson came to us with two large, unresponsive websites running on a costly legacy CMS, poor information architecture, and duplicate content dragging down SEO. Cogworks migrated 4,500 pages across both sites to Umbraco in 12 weeks, on budget, on time, and built around the people who would use it every day.

Rebuild on Umbraco: 125% new users and 90% reduction in CO2 and hosting costs

Russell-Cooke, a top 100 UK law firm, had a website that was working against them. Complex navigation buried their services, drop-off rates were high, and a brand identity that is genuinely warm and personal simply was not coming through. We rebuilt the platform from the ground up: new architecture, new design, a faster and greener foundation.
