Simone Chiaretta loves the ease of extending Umbraco

Team Lead and Web Architect, The Council of European Union

''Umbraco was invaluable for the good outcome of our project. Many challenges were solved "gratis" just by using Umbraco, and for the ones that were not directly addressed, the openness and ease of extending Umbraco allowed us to develop a lot of custom solutions to our challenges.''

Lisa Sendall loves not having to compromise on requirements

Head of eCommerce, Merlin Entertainments

''In my 9 years of working in eCommerce, this was one of the smoothest builds I have been involved in. Timeframes from brief to complete were very short and, unlike other projects, we didn’t have to de-scope the requirements to meet deadlines.''

Leon Lindeberg (and his dog) love that everyone wins

System Developer, Webmind

''It is just a big win for everyone. Editors are happy because their workflow is simpler, customers are pleased because development is cheaper, and sites are solid. I am just delighted. I think even my dog is more satisfied - I come home with a smile because I've had such a great day easily collaborating with teams in the environments, had fun and helpful chats with the support team, and can sleep soundly knowing that the sites are stable.''
