Enterprise websites, built on Umbraco.
You're probably not running one website. You're running several: different brands, regions, and languages — each tied back to the systems that keep the business moving. Umbraco is built to carry that kind of weight, and it's the platform Lightburn knows deepest. Your sites stay consistent, secure, and easy to run long after launch day.
A platform that earns its place in the enterprise.
Umbraco is an open-source platform built on .NET, and it runs sites for Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Heineken. What sets it apart is the balance it strikes. You get the security, governance, and scale a large organization needs, plus an editor your marketing team can actually work in without calling a developer. Plenty of enterprise systems nail the first part and make people miserable with the second.
It fits best once you've outgrown a basic CMS: several brands to manage, sites in the languages your customers actually speak, and live links to the ERP, CRM, and PIM behind the business. When your website does real work instead of sitting there like a brochure, and security and uptime aren't negotiable, this is usually the right foundation.
What we do with Umbraco.
Whether it's your first Umbraco build or a whole estate of sites to run, the work usually falls into six areas.
New implementation
A new Umbraco site built from scratch, hosted on Umbraco Cloud, with a page-building setup your team can run day to day.
Upgrades & version migrations
Get onto a current, supported version of Umbraco, with upgrades you can schedule instead of scramble for.
Ongoing maintenance & support
Patching, hosting, monitoring, and steady improvements across your sites, from the people who built them.
Custom development
Configurators, dealer locators, and the integrations that link your site to your ERP, CRM, and PIM.
CMS migrations
Move onto Umbraco from WordPress, Sitecore, or an older platform with your content, translations, and rankings intact.
Training & enablement
Onboarding and docs so your marketing team can build and publish without waiting on IT.
Why Umbraco for enterprise manufacturers?
For a regulated, global manufacturer, three things tend to matter most: how secure the platform is, how long it stays supported, and how much control you keep. Umbraco does well on all three. It's ISO 27001-certified with GDPR tools built in, runs on dedicated managed hosting, and comes with long-term support on a schedule you can plan around. A site you launch this year will still be current and secure several years from now.
Because it's open source and built on .NET, there's no per-seat license to pay, the talent pool to maintain it is deep, and your own developers can extend it. Governance comes standard, so a central team protects security and brand standards through approval workflows and permissions while each brand or region still publishes on its own. Multilingual, personalization through Umbraco Engage, and Forms and Workflow are built in. The result is one platform your whole organization can grow on.
Your website has real work to do now. Build it on something that can carry it.

FAQs.
Is Umbraco really enterprise-grade?
Yes. It's ISO 27001-certified with GDPR tools built in, runs on dedicated managed hosting, and comes with long-term support and predictable upgrades. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Heineken run on it, so it more than meets the security and uptime bar a regulated manufacturer has to clear.
We run multiple brands and regions. Can Umbraco handle that?
Yes, and it's a big reason we recommend it. You can run many brands, divisions, and languages from one platform, with approval workflows that let a central team keep control of standards and security while each site publishes on its own schedule.
How does Umbraco integrate with our ERP, CRM, and PIM?
Cleanly. It's built on .NET and designed to connect to other systems, so your site can pull live product, dealer, and customer data straight from Salesforce, your ERP, and your PIM instead of a copy that goes stale.
Isn't open-source a risk for an enterprise?
Usually it's the reverse. There's no license lock-in and plenty of developers who know it, and you still get commercial-grade security certification, managed hosting, and long-term support behind it.
