Keep your Umbraco platform secure and future-proof
Still on Umbraco 13 or older? Support for Umbraco 13 ends on December 14, 2026. Your site will keep running, but security updates stop. As an Umbraco Gold Partner, we map out your upgrade to Umbraco 17: what it costs, how long it takes, and what you gain. That goes for sites built by other agencies, too.
What happens if you do nothing
Your site keeps running, but from December 14 every new vulnerability stays open. You won't see it until something goes wrong.
Upgrading isn't just safer, it's smarter
Umbraco 13 has served you well over the past few years. But everything added since version 14 stays out of reach as long as you stay on it. Upgrading to Umbraco 17 doesn't just fix a security problem, it moves you forward. For your editors, your IT team, and your visitors.
- Step 1: Upgrade check
- Step 2: Plan
- Step 3: Upgrade and test
We look at your current Umbraco version, integrations, custom modules, and editorial processes. That shows you how big the step to Umbraco 17 is for your site.
You get a roadmap with timeline, costs, and risks. Is XLTS, the paid extension of security updates, the smartest choice for now? Then we'll tell you honestly.
We upgrade, test every integration, and go live in phases. After that we keep building with you: a monthly check-in and a quarterly strategy session with your dedicated project owner.

As an Umbraco Gold Partner with more than ten years of experience, we have the expertise in-house. The difference is commitment. With a dedicated team and a clear plan, we make sure your upgrade goes smoothly and your platform keeps growing with your ambitions afterward.
Proof? See what we've built together
We built Bizzmine a scalable multi-site solution in Umbraco v17. It's deliberately decoupled from HubSpot, yet tightly integrated. The CMS does what a CMS should do, and so does the marketing platform. The result: less manual work, more insight, and a foundation that's ready for automation and AI.
For AMCS Group, we keep improving the performance of their international website. From personalization and smart content scoring to technical tools like the Translation Manager and on-site search, it all comes down to relevance, ease of use and higher conversion.
The website helps visitors find the right course and sign up for it. We do this by offering targeted information and answering the key questions that influence their decision.
For Beddenspecialist we built a scalable platform with an integrated webshop, appointment module and local environments for every store. Each location gets its own face, while everything is managed centrally. Efficient for the team, recognizable for the customer.
InMotion Lease was starting from scratch: no website, no brand identity, just a clear idea and big ambitions. Together, we quickly built a scalable platform that is ready for growth. With a strong brand identity, a smart website and lease inventory that loads automatically through the Hexon integration, InMotion Lease is digitally ready to win over the market.
They chose True People too
We build for mid-sized and large organizations that want to go beyond a standard website. What do they have in common? A platform that has to grow with their ambitions and a partner who thinks along.
Everything about upgrading to Umbraco 17
No. Your site keeps running and your editors can keep logging in. What stops is support: no security patches, no bug fixes, and no help from Umbraco HQ.
Yes, that is a supported path. It is a big upgrade, though. The backoffice has been redesigned and the framework moves from .NET 8 to .NET 10. That's why custom work, packages, and integrations need to be assessed first.
For most sites with custom work, an upgrade takes 6 to 16 weeks, including preparation, testing, and acceptance. Many integrations or heavy customization make it take longer.
That depends on your custom work and integrations. After the upgrade check, you get a clear scope document with a fixed price per phase, so there are no surprises.
Extended Long-Term Support is a paid extension of 6, 12, or 24 months that keeps your security patches coming. It makes sense if an upgrade is no longer feasible this year, but it doesn't replace the upgrade itself.
Yes. We take over your platform and handle the handover with your current agency. We include the upgrade in that process.
Yes. Umbraco AI works from Umbraco 17 onward. After the upgrade, you can write, improve, and translate content faster, right inside your CMS.
