What is Umbraco?

Umbraco is a Content Management System, a tool to make it easier for Website Editors to update and maintain their website by enabling then to change the written copy and images and video without having to understand complex programming languages.

Is Umbraco Open Source?

Yes. Umbraco is called Open Source software because the underlying program code is free and open for everyone to download and change.  This makes it possible for anyone to build features and fix bugs in Umbraco, which improves the safety and security of the platform immensely.  That being said, the Umbraco CMS is developed and supported by the Umbraco HQ corporation, a team of 60 highly engaged developers, software architects and support engineers, who provide paid support plans for Umbraco.

Umbraco is built using a suite of well established Microsoft technologies including Microsoft .NET and SQL Server, all Enterprise grade software used by hundreds of thousands of businesses worldwide.
