Umbraco Upgrades
Umbraco upgrades can be complex projects, not simple version updates. We plan and deliver upgrades that protect your content, integrations and search visibility, with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
Upgrade your Umbraco website without the headaches
Older versions of Umbraco eventually become unsupported. Security updates stop. Compatibility issues grow. Performance degrades. At the same time, the longer an upgrade is delayed, the more complex it becomes.
A poorly planned upgrade can break templates, corrupt content, disrupt integrations and undo years of organic search equity. A well-managed upgrade strengthens your platform, improves performance and extends its lifespan.
What we deliver
Structured Umbraco upgrades designed to reduce risk, protect performance and minimise disruption.
Our approach focuses on careful planning, controlled execution and safeguarding what already works, so your platform is upgraded without losing content, search visibility or stability.

We manage major version upgrades and rebuilds, including legacy installs, refactoring templates and components to current Umbraco standards

Our insight
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you upgrade very old versions of Umbraco?
Yes. We regularly upgrade legacy Umbraco installations, including multi-version jumps.
Will content be lost during an upgrade?
When handled correctly, no. Content integrity is a core focus of our upgrade process.
Will an upgrade affect SEO?
If poorly executed, yes. We plan upgrades to protect URLs, metadata, content and search performance.
How long does an Umbraco upgrade take?
Timeframes depend on version gaps, customisation and integrations. We define this during discovery.
Is an upgrade the same as a website rebuild?
Not always. Some upgrades require partial or full rebuilds, which we assess upfront.
