Umbraco 7 or 8

If you’re currently using Umbraco 7 or Umbraco 8 it’s time to start thinking about upgrading your website.

Umbraco 7 and 8 have reached the end of life so even though your website will technically not stop working, it is crucial to upgrade to keep your website secure, compliant and optimise its performance. 

Why upgrade with our Umbraco Migrator tool?

We understand that regardless of your website’s complexity, it can be a daunting prospect to upgrade and there isn’t a clear path to get to Umbraco 13 as each version of Umbraco introduces new features and different technologies.

We have developed a tool that will take your website incrementally through each version to the latest. If you have some unique coding on your website, a new version can affect how this works too, but again, our Umbraco Migrator tool will help ease your website through the transition of each version.

Business Benefits

We understand that upgrading your website might not be your top business priority. However, a well-maintained, up-to-date website not only enhances security and performance but also improves customer satisfaction and trust. Users naturally expect fast, seamless experiences and to provide this, it is imperative that your website is running on the latest technology.

  • Ensure your website remains active to avoid reputational damage and customers losing confidence in your organisation

  • Access to new features – Umbraco 13 has lots of new features that aren’t available in previous versions which will give you better ways to communicate with customers, handle your content and track your performance.

  • Time and money saved - upgrading is generally less expensive than a complete rebuild. You also keep your existing content, structure, and design with minimal disruption and less time.

  • Improved performance – websites using the latest version of Umbraco are more responsive and are highly scalable to deal with greater volumes of traffic.

  • Better sustainability – you will be compatible with future updates and technologies.

Failure to upgrade can lead to security vulnerabilities, lower performance, and compatibility issues with new web technologies.

Technical Benefits

Staying up to date with the latest Umbraco version offers many benefits as it is built on the latest Microsoft technologies, giving access to the latest tools and integrations, making sure your website is modern, responsive and dynamic.

  • Enhanced security, with a more robust and user-friendly experience.  It is not advised to run your website on an unsupported version. When you upgrade to Umbraco 13, you are protected against the latest security threats as you benefit from the regular security updates.

  • Make use of new features to enhance functionality and user experience.

  • Ensure continued access to technical support and community resources.

  • Maintains compatibility with modern web technologies and third-party plugins.

faq intro

No, there is not. Umbraco 7 is built on the .NET Framework, while Umbraco 9+ (including 13) is built on ASP.NET Core. So you will need to rebuild your website, including any templates, custom code and integrations.

Yes. You can host both versions at the same time and rebuild the site incrementally, however, this adds complexity and is best suited for large sites with long migration timelines.

This varies depending on your site complexity, custom functionality and content volume. It can take a number of weeks for a small to medium site.

This is supported until Dec 2026.
