As an Open Source platform, Umbraco is more than just a CMS. We are transparent with our roadmap for future versions, our incremental sprint planning notes are publicly accessible and community contributions and packages are available for all to use.
Umbraco Cloud is the easiest and fastest way to use Umbraco yet with full support for all your custom .NET code and integrations. You're up and running in less than a minute and your life will be made easier with automated upgrades and a built-in deployment engine. We offer a free 14-day trial, no credit card needed.
If you want to DIY you can download Umbraco either as a ZIP file or via NuGet. It's the same version of Umbraco CMS that powers Umbraco Cloud, but you'll need to find a place to host yourself and handling deployments and upgrades is all down to you.
Our friendly community is available 24/7 at the community hub we call "Our Umbraco". Our Umbraco feature forums for questions and answers, documentation, downloadable plugins for Umbraco and a rich collection of community resources.
