This was not the plan…
As many of you might know, Umbraco didn’t start out with a vision of ever getting this big. Back in 2003, working as a freelancer, I just wanted to built a simple open source CMS to make life easier and simpler for the users. A CMS that would give them back some freedom and control. But the interest for Umbraco kept growing and more and more people joined the open source project. A growth that has meant a lot for Umbraco, both as a CMS, a business and as a global community. A growth that keeps making all the different parts of Umbraco stronger, better and even more delightful.
Today, a progressive growth is therefore part of the plan. Actually, It’s written in stone or more precisely, in a rich text editor as our company vision statement:
By the end of 2021 we want to have 1,000,000 live sites on Umbraco software, whereof 100,000 are on Umbraco Cloud
We are hungry and with the continuous support, inspiration, demands and dedication from our community and our partners, we are confident we’ll get there. Together.
