Umbraco

Content management system centered on configurable document types, reusable content structures and editorial backoffice workflows.

ToolScout view

Umbraco suits teams that want their content model to reflect how a site actually works. Document types define the fields and editors for pages and reusable items, while the backoffice also supports media and publishing controls. The flexibility is valuable for customized sites, but it depends on developers and content governance to avoid an inconsistent editing experience. Small teams seeking only quick template publishing may prefer something simpler. Evaluate it by creating a representative page type, editing real content and testing the publishing workflow.

Before you choose: Prototype a content type and media workflow, then have a nontechnical editor create and schedule a realistic page.
