As we approach the End of Life (EOL) of Umbraco Version 10 on June 16, 2025, understanding the necessity of upgrading your digital platform becomes crucial. This transition is not merely technical but a strategic move essential for enhancing your online presence. Working with experienced Umbraco developers, particularly Umbraco Platinum Partners like ourselves, offers significant advantages in navigating this essential change. This guide explains why timely upgrades are crucial and how expert guidance can make a difference.
'End of Life' means that post-June 16, 2025, Umbraco Version 10 will no longer receive updates or support. As this date approaches, it is critical to acknowledge the risks of operating an unsupported version, which can increase vulnerability to security threats and reduce system efficiency, potentially harming your website’s functionality.
Postponing the upgrade process poses several risks:
Engaging early with the upgrade process to a newer Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Umbraco is beneficial. Starting early allows for thorough evaluations, development of custom solutions, and extensive testing—all essential for maintaining optimal site performance and security. This planned approach ensures a smooth transition, maintaining an excellent user experience and functional integrity of your website.
By partnering with Umbraco Platinum Partners like Digital Wonderlab, you gain access to unparalleled expertise and direct support from Umbraco HQ. Our team of experienced Umbraco developers has a proven track record of successful platform transitions, ensuring that your upgrade transcends mere technical changes to enhance your overall digital strategy.
