ODENSE, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Umbraco this month won its third honor of 2019, taking gold as the best content management system (CMS) in Visual Studio Magazine’s 2020 Reader’s Choice Awards. Earlier this year, the provider of the open source, Microsoft .NET–based CMS also won the Future Unicorn Award from DIGITALEUROPE and the Best Enterprise CMS from CMS Critics’ Awards.
Often referred to as the “Friendly CMS,” Umbraco gives developers the flexibility and freedom to build websites, apps and other solutions with the look and features they want, while enabling editors and content creators to easily and quickly get content in front of their customers.

“We strive to provide the easiest and friendliest content management system available for developers, content editors and end users, making it a CMS they love to use and want to keep using,” said Kim Sneum Madsen, CEO, Umbraco. “We see these awards as an appreciation and acknowledgement of this work and aim to continue working with our community to further enhance the capabilities we can offer so that companies of any size can get exactly what they want from their websites.”
