Your one-stop shop for everything Umbraco.
Upgrades, fixes, new features and full rebuilds, from a team that’s worked on every version since v4.
Every version, and everything in between.
We’ve spent over five years working on Umbraco sites, and a lot of that is the harder work.
Big jumps between versions, heavily customised sites, and setups that don’t follow the usual pattern.
Move your site to a supported version.
Older versions of Umbraco stop getting security fixes. We plan the upgrade, bring your content and custom work across, and test it all before anything goes live. Big jumps are done in careful steps.
Not sure if your version is still supported? Check the dates on Umbraco’s website.
Talk to us about an upgrade- Your version no longer gets security fixes.
- Add-ons you rely on have stopped working.
- You’ve been told it’s too hard to upgrade.
Someone to call when it matters.
Security updates, fixes and small improvements from a team that knows your site. Ongoing, or just when you need us.
Talk to us about support- Security and version updates, applied and tested.
- Fixes when something breaks.
- Small changes and improvements as you need them.
Add to the site you already have.
Not every problem needs a new site. We add what you’re missing to your existing Umbraco site, built to fit the way it already works.
Talk to us about a feature- A members area with its own login.
- Forms that send answers directly to your CRM, the system where you keep customer details.
- Event listings, bookings or a shop.
Find out where your site stands.
We look over your site and tell you, in plain English, what’s working, what’s at risk and what to do first. You get a short written report, and you’re free to use anyone to act on it.
Book a health check- Your version and how long it’s supported.
- Security settings and updates.
- Performance and hosting.
- Custom code and add-ons that could cause trouble later.
Moving to Umbraco, or moving hosts.
Moving from another system to Umbraco, or moving your Umbraco site somewhere new. We bring your content across and set up redirects, so links to your old pages still work.
Talk to us about a migration- Pages, pictures and documents.
- Redirects from your old web addresses.
- Forms and the answers already collected.
Sometimes starting again costs less.
If an upgrade would cost more than a fresh build, we’ll tell you. We rebuild on the latest version, keep your content, and leave you with a site that’s simple to update and easy to keep current.
Talk to us about a rebuild- The site is several versions behind and heavily customised.
- The design no longer suits how you work.
- You’re starting a new site and want it on Umbraco.
Questions people ask.
Something else on your mind? Email hello@kilnsoftware.co.uk
Which version am I on?
If you can log in, the version number is usually shown on the help screen in the back office, where you edit the site. If you can’t find it, send us your web address and we’ll check for you.
Is my version still supported?
Umbraco supports each version for a set time, then it stops getting security fixes. Check the dates on Umbraco’s website, or tell us your version and we’ll tell you where it stands and how long you have.
Can you work on a site someone else built?
Yes. We start by looking at how your site is put together, so we understand it before we change anything.
Will my site go offline during an upgrade?
Only briefly. We do the work on a separate copy and test it with you, then switch over at a time that suits you. Downtime is minimal, usually less than an hour.
How long does an upgrade take?
It depends on how far behind you are and how much custom work there is. After a health check we can give you a clear plan and an estimate.
