Microsoft Word integration
Umbraco has integrated with familiar tools such as Microsoft
WordTM, to allow you to write content or edit your
website pages directly from within Word. You can even work
off-line, without even opening up a browser.
Permission based access levels
You can give different CMS admins different access rights. Only
want the intern to be able edit content but not to be able to
publish? Don't want your freelance contractors to be able to
access the Media Library and sensitive documents? It's as easy as a
ticking a box and setting the CMS access levels.
Multiple language capabilities
Does your website need to be able to operate in multiple
language? Do your CMS admin users, need to be able to edit in their
preferred language? Umbraco ships with more than 15 pre-defined
languages that provide a localised user interface and it also
allows you to easliy setup multi-lingual sites for your website
within one CMS.
Full design, CSS, markup control
Nothing is more frustrating for a developer than a CMS that
restricts you from getting down and dirty in the code. Umbraco lets
your developers 100% control the templates layout and markup,
including the CSS files.
Integrate your own .NET Controls
Need to do something complex using a custom .NET user control.
Well then write your own .NET Custom Controls and User
Controls and integrate them into Umbraco. Umbraco is
completely flexible to allow you to develop however you feel
comfortable.
Documentation & Support
Umbraco has an extremely active support community throughout the
world. If you need to know something and can't find it there in the
FAQ's, then ask the question and the community will respond.

Simple & easy editing interface
Umbraco has given a lot of thought to the user experience of
their CMS. The interface uses a navigational flow and editing tools
that anybody using Windows Explorer and Microsoft Word will
immediately recognise. Your site structure sits in a tree view -
just like Windows Explorer. Anybody with experience using
Microsoft Word, can use Umbraco's simple rich text editing (RTE)
interface. We know you will love it!
Rollback version control
Not happy with the changes you've made to your content? No
problem. Umbraco allows you to rollback your content to a previous
days content. Simply right-click, select the day you want to
rollback to and publish. You can even view the differences between
versions side by side.
Scheduling content
Say you have content that needs to be made live tomorrow and
only appear for 1 day, but you're not going to be in the office.
Well with Umbraco you can schedule your content ahead of time, to
publish and then unpublish on certain dates leaving you free to
carry on with your day.
Media documents library
Umbraco's media library lets you upload your documents (PDF,
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Flash files and videos) into a neatly
categorised and editbale folder filing structure. Link to documents
in your content and then when you need to change something, do it
in the media library and it will update across the site. It can
also be used as a nice online storage facility.
Performance boosts
With built-in content caching and a dynamic cache for macros,
your website is given a huge performance boost! This ensures a
great experience for your site's visitors and website pages will
load quicker.
Umbraco search
Umbraco has a fantastic search facility using either XSLT search
or Umbraco Examine which is an extensible indexer and search
engine. Both methods are lightning quick and allow your website
visitors to quickly find what they are looking for.
