Selecting the right CMS solution for your website is fundamental to efficiently building and maintaining your site – that’s why the choice of this or that platform may often bring you into a stalemate.

Furthermore, Umbraco has a clean and intuitive interface which means it is extremely easy and simple to manage and to create new content for your website. The platform is also perfectly complimented by loads of awesome plugin modules, allowing to create a site that would meet any specific requirements. But where is light – there’s shadow. In other words, Umbraco does have some significant weaknesses, the implementation of which would made the platform much more universal:

1. Developer­Oriented (the platform is oriented mostly on developers and requires customization for each specific project);

2. Steep Learning Curve (a programmer who is not familiar with Umbraco usually has to spend some time studying the platform and its possibilities);

3. Expensive (Umbraco is built on .NET framework that makes it more expensive to host).

For those looking to get a website up and running without having to slave over the mountains of code should look no further than WordPress. The platform has been far outpacing Umbraco in terms of ease­of­use and efficiency at one time. It makes its best providing enough functionality to create something that looks good and works well. The platform has dominated the CMS landscape due to the following benefits:

It is indisputably user­friendly (no IT knowledge is expected to take a full advantage of WordPress);
