About Umbraco
Umbraco roots back to year 2000 even though it wasn't released as open source until 2004. Today it has grown to be among the top fifteen most popular open source .NET applications and in May 2008 it hit a milestone at 50.000 installed and active websites (double up from 25.000 in April 2007).
Simple, obvious, friendly
Umbraco's UI was designed to be easy to use by following conventions from existing desktop applications. Users will appreciate that working in the Umbraco back office is obvious and appealing. End-users' editing experience is simplified by removing anything that isn't essential to the task of creating and editing content. Even with very large and advanced websites, end-users are presented with a UI that's tailored specifically for them, with no time-consuming workflows or over-complicated wizards to interfere with their work. With a non-intrusive permission model and convenient notification system, users can collaborate and create without wasting time on or being distracted by things unrelated to creating and maintaining content.
Editors love
Editors will instantly fall in love with Umbraco's unique Canvas Editing which means that to edit a page they simply browse their website and click whatever text or images they wish to change and Umbraco will automatically load and insert the appropriate editing control via AJAX, whether it's just a simple text field or a full-blown WYSIWYG Editor. Internal links are inserted with SEO-friendly urls, scaled images are automatically re-sized server side and the editor also makes sure proportions are kept. If you copy from Word, it'll not only clean the pasted content making sure it's valid (X)HTML, but it'll also match any styling (headers, etc) with the styling rules in the sites CSS and remove whatever styles is not allowed.
