From v4 to v17. We've done it all.

Database migration, template conversion, zero-downtime deploys. Fifteen years of Umbraco version upgrades, distilled into a proven process.

Upgrades and Migrations

What we handle.

🔄

v4 to v17 paths

Direct jumps, staged upgrades, or re-platforms. We map the safest route for your codebase, content, and timeline.

💾

Database cleanup

Years of drift - unused doc types, orphaned nodes, stale properties. We clean as we go so the new site is not the old site's landfill.

🎨

Template conversion

Webforms to Razor, legacy partials to block lists. The frontend ends up modern, maintainable, and fast - not just "running on v17".

📦

Package replacement

Abandoned or broken packages swapped for supported equivalents. Where no drop-in exists, we write it - cleanly and openly.

🚀

Zero downtime

Parallel running, content sync, DNS cutover. The new site goes live without a public "we are upgrading" banner.

âš¡

Performance boost

Upgrades always seem to slow sites down. Ours do the opposite. Core Web Vitals get tuned as part of the migration, not after.

1

Audit current version

We get access to your codebase, database, and hosting. A week of digging gives us a plain-English report on what will actually break.

2

Plan the migration

Direct or staged? Which packages replace which? Fixed-price proposal, realistic timeline. You sign off before anything moves.

3

Execute + support

Staging site, full test pass, quiet cutover. We stay on-call for the first month post-go-live, and hosting is available as a follow-on.

Audit, plan, execute.

A quiet cutover is a planned cutover.

Modern Umbraco, without the pain.

We have upgraded sites from v4, v7, v8, v10, v13, and everything in between. Most of the pain comes from rushed scopes and surprises late in the project. Our process front-loads the surprises and sets fixed prices for the rest.

By the time you go live, you are not just running a newer version - you are running a faster, leaner, better-supported site.

Got an idea?Let's build it.

Whether it's a SaaS product, a platform, or something you've been sketching on the back of a napkin. We ship things that work.
