Umbraco is an open source content management system (CMS) platform for publishing content on the World Wide Web. It is written in C# and deployed on Microsoft based infrastructure.

The open source back-end is released under an MIT License while the UI is released under the Umbraco license.
It is easy to use, simple to understand, and is highly extensible using industry-standard languages and patterns such as HTML, CSS, jQuery, and C#.  Umbraco is powerful and flexible whether you're a cutting-edge designer or a hard-core code junkie.

Some of the world's largest companies (Microsoft, Toyota) use Umbraco and some of the world's most innovative companies use it as well.  Businesses large and small choose Umbraco because it lets them build sites their way, develop custom features quickly, and perform ongoing site maintenance and updates with a simple and robust approach.
