Why Umbraco Makes Life Easier for Small Business Owners | Frontline Designs

General

You stay in control (without breaking anything)

Umbraco gives you a clean simple backend that’s actually made for non tech people. You’re not stuck waiting on someone like me for every little change.

  • Update text and images whenever you want
  • Preview edits before hitting publish
  • No risk of accidentally breaking layouts

If you spot a typo, want to change a heading or swap an image go for it. Your website should feel like something you own not something you fear touching.

Note: I can maintain this for you, or for £100 per person, I will provide training. once you’re making updates on your own, I’m not responsible if something breaks. If you need help fixing it, I’m happy to step in. There will be an additional charge for the time it takes.

It’s built to grow with your business

Lots of platforms are fine when you're just starting but they quickly hit limits. Umbraco doesn’t box you in. It’s built to grow with you.

  • Add a blog later? Easy.
  • Expand your service pages? No problem.
  • Want to hook up a booking tool or newsletter signup? You've got space to move.

I build sites that scale. No need to start over every time your business expands

Faster, cleaner and more secure

Speed and security matter. Here's how Umbraco stacks up against WordPress:

Feature Umbraco WordPress
Page Speed Built on C#/.NET, known for efficient performance.
ASP.NET vs PHP benchmark
Can be slowed by multiple plugins and shared hosting performance varies by setup.
Security (Total Vulnerabilities) Smaller ecosystem so fewer attack points. Over 63,000 vulnerabilities recorded across WordPress core, plugins, and themes (WPScan Statistics)
Security (Plugin Risk) Features built custom or curated no plugin mass loading. 97% of vulnerabilities come via plugins/themes not WordPress core (Patchstack 2023 Security Report)
Maintenance Overhead Fewer updates needed; I can even manage hosting and maintenance for you. Requires frequent updates missed plugin or theme updates lead to security holes.

In security terms, Umbraco has fewer known vulnerabilities than WordPress, which is often a target because of its plugin ecosystem. It also gives developers full control over what’s installed no mystery extensions hiding in the background.

Finally when I handle your hosting and maintenance, all the updates and patches are taken care of. That means you stay secure and you don't have to worry.

Better for SEO

Good SEO starts with solid structure. Umbraco gives us:

  • Clean, SEO-friendly URLs.
  • Full control of meta titles and descriptions.
  • Faster load times (which Google loves).
  • Organised content that’s easy to optimise.

And if I’m managing your SEO or Google Ads? Even better. We’re starting from the right foundation.

It’s not just tech. It’s your brand

Anyone can drop your logo on a generic theme. I build around what matters most your message, your audience, your goals.

  • Your message
  • Your audience
  • Your goals

With Umbraco, I’m not tied to pre made layouts or clunky limitations. You get a site that looks and feels like you not like everyone else.

Final thoughts

Running a business is hard enough. Your website should back you up not burn you out.

I use Umbraco because it’s flexible and easy for my clients to actually use. It helps me build sites that work and last longer.
