Umbraco .NET Upgrades LTS
In short

63Digital builds and upgrades Umbraco sites on .NET. Our own site is built on Umbraco 17 LTS, upgraded directly from Umbraco 13, and we've rebuilt sites like Clarkston Colts' on a clean, fast Umbraco front-end. If you're still on Umbraco 13, which reaches end of life on 14 December 2026, we can plan and run your move to 17.

Is it a fit?

Is Umbraco right for you?

A good fit when

  • ✓You're a .NET business, or want your website on a .NET stack
  • ✓Editors need structured, flexible content types
  • ✓You want long-term support from an LTS release

Probably not when

  • –You need a simple brochure site on the smallest possible budget (WordPress may suit better)

FAQ

Common questions

When does Umbraco 13 support end?

Umbraco 13 is an LTS release that left active support on 14 December 2025 and reaches end of life on 14 December 2026, after which it gets no security fixes. Umbraco 17 LTS is supported until 27 November 2028.

Can you upgrade our Umbraco site to 17?

Yes. We moved our own site from Umbraco 13 to 17 in one jump, and we start every upgrade by checking your packages, custom code and hosting so you know what's involved before any work begins. Our upgrade guide explains what we look at.

What if we're on an older version, such as Umbraco 8?

Umbraco 8 and earlier run on the older .NET Framework, so there's no in-place upgrade: the site is rebuilt on Umbraco 17 and its content moved across. Sites on 10, 11 or 12 can be upgraded, going through 13 on the way.

Will my Umbraco packages work on 17?

Only if they have a v17 release. Check every package before you start. On our own upgrade, a theme package without a v17 build held things up until its release shipped.

Still on Umbraco 13?

End of life is 14 December 2026. Tell us about your site and we'll tell you what an upgrade to 17 involves.
