What Are the Challenges of Building with Umbraco?
While Umbraco provides a strong foundation for building websites, creating a polished, high-performing site requires attention to several key areas. These challenges can add complexity to the development process, often making it time-consuming and resource-intensive to deliver a truly professional result.
Design
While Umbraco is flexible, crafting a visually appealing and user-friendly design requires a strong understanding of web design principles. Ensuring a seamless experience across all devices—from mobile to desktop—takes time and skill.
Performance
A fast website is essential for user experience and SEO rankings, but speed optimisation isn’t automatic with Umbraco. Developers need to implement performance enhancements to ensure the site loads quickly and runs smoothly.
SEO
Umbraco provides the tools, but SEO best practices must be manually applied to ensure your site ranks well on search engines. This includes meta tags, sitemaps, and optimised content structure.
Device Layouts
Responsive design is critical in today’s mobile-first world. It's your responsibility to ensure your Umbraco site adapts to different screen sizes, providing a seamless experience across all devices.
Accessibility
Ensuring your website is accessible to users of all abilities, including compliance with standards like WCAG 2.2, is a must. Building an accessible website requires developers to follow specific guidelines from the start.
Editor Experience
Umbraco’s editor interface is user-friendly, but to fully streamline content management, you need to structure the CMS effectively. Creating an intuitive workflow for content editors ensures the day-to-day management remains smooth and efficient.
Truth is, the Umbraco CMS content editor experience is vastly improved by uSkinned Site Builder.
