Umbraco
We design, build and support engaging, creative Umbraco websites that are fast to use, easy to manage and built to scale, with expert delivery from our expert developers.
Umbraco sites built to last
Umbraco is a flexible .NET CMS that works well for clients that need control, performance and a user experience people actually enjoy. At IDHL we help teams plan and deliver Umbraco website to fit their goals, from initial discovery and UX through to development, integrations and launch. We also support existing Umbraco sites, improving security and speed and keeping on top of upgrades over time so the site stays reliable as needs change.
Designed for editors, built for ease of development
Umbraco gives content teams a clean back office and flexible page building without forcing you into rigid templates. It fits neatly into enterprise delivery practices, from version control and slick integration capability to robust security and performance.
Built for real‑world publishing
We design and build Umbraco websites that make day‑to‑day publishing straightforward, without compromising performance or control. That starts with clear information architecture, reusable templates and components, and a back office that reflects how your team actually works.
We pair this with clean, maintainable development and well‑considered integrations, so your platform is easy to extend as needs change. Whether it’s a new build or an evolution of an existing site, we focus on UX, speed, accessibility and security from the outset.

Pragmatic delivery, fewer surprises
Our Umbraco delivery is grounded in clear planning and practical decision‑making. We take time to understand your users, content and technical constraints before shaping an approach that fits. That means building consistent components, reducing complexity where possible and putting sensible governance in place.
For existing platforms, we can audit what’s there, stabilise performance, plan upgrades and address technical debt. The result is a platform that’s easier to manage, quicker to improve and less reliant on constant fixes.
Depth of expertise, long‑term support
As an Umbraco Gold Partner, IDHL brings deep platform expertise backed by a large team of specialists who’ve delivered everything from focused marketing sites to complex, integrated platforms.
That depth allows us to scale the right mix of skills for your project, whether you need a short sprint to tackle priority issues or a full team for a rebuild or upgrade. We write clean, well‑structured code and support platforms long after launch, helping you move from build to optimisation without switching partners.
