## Umbraco - The Friendly CMS
|
|
|
|
For the first time on the Microsoft platform, there is a free user and developer friendly CMS that makes it quick and easy to create websites - or a breeze to build complex web applications. Umbraco has award-winning integration capabilities and supports ASP.NET MVC or Web Forms, including User and Custom Controls, out of the box.
|
|
|
|
Umbraco is not only loved by developers, but is a content editors dream. Enjoy intuitive editing tools, media management, responsive views and approval workflows to send your content live.
|
|
|
|
Used by more than 443,000 active websites including Carlsberg, Segway, Amazon and Heinz and **The Official ASP.NET and IIS.NET website from Microsoft** ([https://asp.net](https://asp.net) / [https://iis.net](https://iis.net)), you can be sure that the technology is proven, stable and scales. Backed by the team at Umbraco HQ, and supported by a dedicated community of over 220,000 craftspeople globally, you can trust that Umbraco is a safe choice and is here to stay.

## Why Open Source?
|
|
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.

|
|
## Trying out Umbraco CMS
|
|
|
|
[Umbraco Cloud](https://umbraco.com/cloud) is the easiest and fastest way to use Umbraco yet with full support for all your custom .NET code and intergrations. 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](https://our.umbraco.com/download) 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.
|
|
|
|
## Community
|
|
|
|
Our friendly community is available 24/7 at the community hub we call ["Our Umbraco"](https://our.umbraco.com). Our Umbraco feature forums for questions and answers, documentation, downloadable plugins for Umbraco and a rich collection of community resources.
