Welcome to the family: Equator becomes Gold Partner

"We find Umbraco fabulous!"

Written by:

“We have found Umbraco to be a fabulously effective, flexible and well-supported product, since we started using it back in 2008,” says Equator, one of our newest Gold Partners. The UK agency is an active member of the Umbraco community and has been developing Umbraco magic for over a decade now. Meet them, greet them, get to know them better, here’s Equator:

Hello! Nice to meet you! 😊

We love Umbraco!

There are many reasons why we think so highly of Umbraco. Since our first implementation, we’ve found Umbraco to be a fabulously effective, flexible and well-supported product that we’ve used for many different types of web experience. The key things that influence our decision to choose Umbraco are:

  • enterprise features and functionality;
  • empowers our customers;
  • open source;
  • community engagement and support;
  • certification process;
  • Umbraco is tried and tested.

It’s wonderful to have such an editor/user-friendly CMS at our disposal. Umbraco gives us all the flexibility/ extendibility we need to meet our clients’ requirements.

Our road to Gold partnership

We use Umbraco extensively and as a result, are actively involved in the community. We host the Glasgow Umbraco meetup, we’ve presented at Codegarden and are active in the online Umbraco community too. 

We have created digital experiences on Umbraco that have won awards for a host of brands including Malmaison, AXA, BP, B Bank and SSE. And our Development Team Leader Carole is an Umbraco MVP! 😊

So, we’ve been developing our relationship with Umbraco over a number of years and decided that this year we’d look to move to Gold Partner in order to have a greater level of involvement in influencing development.

We’re an active member of the community so in addition, it’ll be fantastic to get more insight into the direction the Umbraco business is taking too.

As well as knowledge and influence, we see a lot of value in extended on-project and business development support from the Umbraco team. We also see a lot of value in the commitment to our staff and, after 10 years of developing over 250 websites for some world famous brands, we look forward to the opportunity to showcase our work on Umbraco's website.

Overall, we are very excited about this next chapter and happy to be a closer part of Umbraco's journey!

Loved by developers, used by thousands around the world!

One of the biggest benefits of using Umbraco is that we have the friendliest Open Source community on this planet. A community that's incredibly pro-active, extremely talented and helpful.

If you get an idea for something you would like to build in Umbraco, chances are that someone has already built it. And if you have a question, are looking for documentation or need friendly advice, go ahead and ask on the community forums.
