Umbraco

Umbraco is an open‑source content management system built on ASP.NET Core that can be self‑hosted without subscription fees. It provides editors with a user‑friendly interface for creating, organizing, and publishing content, while developers can extend the platform through custom dashboards, sections, and content applications. The system is designed to be cloud‑ready, secure and and scalable, supporting sites ranging from small niche pages to large enterprise platforms.

The CMS emphasizes flexibility, allowing full control over design, integrations, workflows, and AI tools without vendor lock‑in. Its architecture lets teams adopt AI features, connect to external services, and modify functionality to meet specific project requirements. The open‑source MIT license and active community contribute to ongoing improvements and a low‑cost solution for organizations that need a customizable, stable publishing platform.
