Current status [Nov 2024]: working with Husky
Having worked with Umbraco for over 6 years, we have seen many iterations of a friendly CMS that allows for unique, bespoke implementations of pretty much anything you can imagine! In that time, we have not been idle. Our founder, Laura Weatherhead, is an Umbraco Certified Expert as well as a 5x Umbraco MVP 2019-present, and we look forward to many more years of promoting and engaging with the changing face of the Umbraco application and community!
Outwith Umbraco, we use a lot of React (Redux, Router & Gatsby implementations) to manifest our visions into reality. We are big lovers of Typescript for use with all JS frameworks and promote the safety that it offers wherever we can. We are also working quite extensively with GraphQL as a way of shaping and serving data to applications, and Laura did a conference talk at the Umbraco Spark Conference this year on using Umbraco with GraphQL.
On top of enjoying a good problem solving opportunity, we are also super keen on building things that are meaningful (or, at least, helpful!)

We are currently working on some proof of concept data architecture to try and make the world of carbon footprinting a more transparent place!

On the 10th of October, 12 Umbracians got together for the first Community Roundtable Discussion. On the agenda was just one topic: “How to sustain the continuous development of the Umbraco Project and the Umbraco community?” In this post you’ll find the notes from this discussion:
