Our Umbraco Website development services

Research

Every successful Umbraco project begins with clarity.

Before writing a line of code, we invest time in understanding your organisation, audiences, content ecosystem, governance model, and long-term digital ambitions.

Our research phase typically includes:

  • Stakeholder workshops
  • Audience and user research
  • Content audits
  • Competitor benchmarking
  • Technical discovery
  • Integration mapping
  • Risk analysis

This ensures the solution architecture is grounded in real business needs, not assumptions.

We also assess whether traditional CMS, headless CMS Umbraco, or a hybrid model best suits your future roadmap.

Factory73 has delivered complex solutions across regulated sectors including financial services, healthcare, legal, and government, where reliability, compliance, and accessibility are non-negotiable. 

The outcome is a clear blueprint for delivery: defined scope, priorities, architecture, and success metrics.

Predictable delivery. No surprises.

Design and UX

Technology only succeeds when people can use it easily.

Our UX approach focuses on reducing friction for both end users and content teams - balancing usability, accessibility, performance, and brand expression.

We design from the inside out:

Information architecture first

Clear navigation, SEO optimised, intuitive journeys, and scalable content structures.

Accessibility by default

WCAG-aligned design ensures inclusivity and regulatory compliance.

Component-based systems

Reusable UI components that scale efficiently across large sites and multiple brands.

Editorial empowerment

Umbraco’s intuitive interface is configured to match real workflows, enabling marketing teams to move quickly without developer dependency.

Our designers and developers collaborate closely, ensuring what is designed can be built efficiently and perform reliably at scale.

This integrated approach reflects Factory73’s philosophy: strategy, engineering, and experience working as one system.

Custom Development

Off-the-shelf solutions rarely meet complex business needs.

Factory73 specialises in bespoke Umbraco development built on Microsoft .NET and Azure, delivering enterprise-grade performance, security, and maintainability.

Our development capabilities include:

  • Custom component development
  • Advanced search and filtering
  • Multisite and multilingual platforms
  • Integration with CRM, ERP, and line-of-business systems
  • API development
  • Secure member portals and self-service areas
  • Ecommerce integrations
  • Data-driven applications

We are integration specialists, able to connect Umbraco to virtually any external system or data source. 

Code quality and reliability are central to our approach. We use structured DevOps pipelines, rigorous testing, and industry best practices to ensure solutions are robust and future-proof.

Security is embedded throughout the development lifecycle. All builds adhere to recognised standards and are designed to meet the expectations of highly regulated environments. 

The result is a platform you can depend on for years — not a short-term solution that requires frequent rebuilding.

Migration and Go Live

Many organisations approach us when existing platforms are no longer fit for purpose.

We manage complex migrations from legacy systems or other CMS platforms into Umbraco, including:

  • Content migration
  • Data transformation
  • SEO preservation
  • URL strategy and redirects
  • Platform consolidation
  • Performance optimisation
  • Hosting configuration
  • Pre-launch testing

Our structured deployment process ensures minimal risk and downtime.

Every release is thoroughly validated for functionality, accessibility, security, and performance before going live. 

We also configure cloud hosting environments for resilience, scalability, and monitoring — whether on Azure or other enterprise infrastructure.

The objective is a smooth transition with zero drama.

Training and Support

A website is not a one-off deliverable. It is a living platform.

Factory73 provides comprehensive training and long-term support to ensure your organisation can extract full value from its investment.

Training

We deliver tailored sessions for:

  • Content editors
  • Marketing teams
  • Administrators
  • Technical teams

Training focuses on real workflows, governance, and best practice, not just button-clicking.

Ongoing support

Our support model includes:

  • 24/7 monitoring of key services
  • Issue resolution via structured ticketing
  • Security updates and patching
  • Performance monitoring
  • Deployment management
  • Health checks and optimisation

Extended SLA options are available for mission-critical platforms, including proactive maintenance and out-of-hours support. 

Many clients treat us as an extension of their internal team, providing continuity, governance, and strategic guidance long after launch.

Developing a headless architecture

Modern digital ecosystems increasingly require content to power multiple channels - websites, mobile apps, portals, kiosks, and third-party platforms.

This is where Umbraco headless capabilities excel.

What is headless Umbraco?

headless CMS Umbraco separates content management from presentation. Content is stored centrally and delivered via APIs to any front-end technology.

Factory73 delivers full headless Umbraco development, enabling organisations to:

  • Publish content across multiple digital touchpoints
  • Use modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
  • Improve performance and scalability
  • Future-proof digital architecture
  • Support omnichannel strategies

Umbraco Headless API

We design and implement secure, efficient Umbraco headless APIs that allow content to flow seamlessly between systems while maintaining governance and control.

This includes:

  • API architecture and security
  • Authentication and permissions
  • Performance optimisation
  • Integration with external platforms
  • Content modelling for omnichannel use

Hybrid headless solutions

Not every organisation needs fully decoupled architecture. In many cases, a hybrid approach provides the best balance between flexibility and editorial simplicity.

We help you determine the right model based on:

  • Team capability
  • Governance requirements
  • Budget
  • Performance needs
  • Long-term roadmap

Whether traditional CMS, hybrid, or fully headless, the goal remains the same: reduce complexity while enabling growth.
