"Reliable company. Timely. Trustworthy. I am been working with 1902 Software house a few years and always got project on time."
"We have used 1902 Software for our new website and we are very pleased with the result. 1902 Software has provided great service and support throughout, and we will certainly use them for future projects." (Translated from Danish)
"We looked to 1902 to assist us to update our existing Umbraco sites and to provide over flow capacity when we needed it. I was extremely pleased with how quickly the team were able to familiarize themselves with our environment and become productive. In addition to achieving our development tasks the 1902 team have constantly added additional value by providing valuable insights and suggestions for improvements.
They have also been able to take high level concepts and develop them in their entirety with very little oversight which has been terrific. We have also been very impressed with the level of testing completed and the resulting quality of work delivered.
We see 1902 as an ongoing partner that enhances our capability to deliver."
"We enjoyed working with the 1902 QA team! The communicative and proactive team had a great level of detail and an amazing understanding of the processes, business needs & priorities. We value the well-established testing approach as well as the experience of the 1902 QA engineers. Also sending special thanks to Angela’s team! The team was attentive, focused & flexible! With their hard effort and ability to coordinate they've continually directed their attention to cooperation & customer satisfaction."
Extremely fast and always available for any emergency issue. Always trying to understand the problem and propose the best solution possible 🙂
"Great company! Working with them is a pleasure. Always helpful and eager to help :)"
"I am in general very pleased with the collaboration with 1902. Project Manager Ryan is always there when you need him and the quality of the tasks done is fully up to speed with what I expected when entering into the collaboration."
"1902 software development has been supporting our start up for about half a year now and we are very satisfied with them. Our website is up to our standards and they have been very good at listening and executing our many requests. It also doesn't hurt that they always have a smile on their faces while we have a video conference 😉 We have had some hic ups or misunderstandings sometimes as it can be expected but all has always been properly handled and solved. Good job guys!"
"Working with 1902 Software for months, and can highly recommend it - the team is very responsible, with high level of professional knowledge and always meets the agreed deadlines, etc. Worked closely with developers and QAs, and cooperation is very cool!"
"1902 Software is an excellent tech outsourced company. Having worked with large setups, 1902 is instrumental in being an extended arm of the team, one which delivers, cares and most important of all are genuinely nice humans to have on any team. They bring an enormous amount of talent and value to any company, especially if you have had the pleasure of working with a certain Ryan (he knows who he is :))"
"Very content with the work that 1902 performs. Easy communication flow with their CRM-system. Ryan and his team are always ready to assist to any tasks or issues we have. Very adaptable to circumstances and needs. Big thumbs up!"
"Outstanding service."
"It is a pleasure doing business with 1902 Software. They have a positive and professional attitude. We just concluded the development of a new WordPress site. Delivery was on time and below budget. Contact with the project manager was fluid and constructive. They understood our needs and suggested alternative technical solutions... and more importantly: 9 times out of 10, they got it right the first time. That greatly reduces time spent reviewing and changing existing code. Add to that an experienced owner, that knows the business, and you have a winner."
"Super good and fast IT solutions can 1902 software easily develop without any problems! They have the expertise and all wishes are met if you know what you need. But you do not even have a finger on the pulse and know what you need, you may not feel 100% taken care of yourself and communication typically takes place in English, directly with the developer. We had Ryan as project manager for the development of the site and he was extremely competent and also came up with some solutions to get more content on the site, but I'm glad to know myself about AMP, ssl, schedule data and generally search engine optimization. Had I not known, I'm not 100% sure that I had got the IT solution I needed to rank higher than my competitors.
They have not been particularly good at writing in their crm system what time has been spent on and you should expect the price to end in the high part of the offer as both design and development have been far closer to the maximum price than the minimum price. I quickly got an idea of how pricing was made and as long as you expect it to be close to or equal to the high end of the offer, you will not get any surprises!
I had expected from the company that there was a little better initiative to ensure that people get the best IT solution now that they have the expertise to execute it! You may not know as a customer what things are important for the optimization of the page to be implemented during the build-up, but it makes a huge difference afterwards when you want to insert content and optimize this to be considered in the process.
My solution was expensive compared to other actors, but it is worth it afterwards when I know that there are competent people at the other end and help us with the right solution. This is not a solution that needs to be replaced after a few years because the supplier has tied you on your hands and feet and there is no ongoing monthly fee for "ongoing maintenance" and other patches you will be practiced elsewhere!
It's a little expensive, but they deliver the item and you will not experience becoming another customer in the row. There is a focus on you as a customer and there is ongoing contact with you every week to make sure you know what is happening in the process.
It's probably not the last time we will use them and next time, we hope they are better off putting in the customer's place and clarifying what it's a customer needs."
"We did not regret for a moment that we chose 1902 Software when we had to find a web company to develop http://www.mediehuset-kbh.dk and www.kanalhovedstaden.dk respectively, which both helped introduce our company to the world. The results cannot be denied: the sites became usable, manageable and user-friendly; and in the process, we felt that the customer was always in the center. We received extensive service and technical guides whenever appropriate. Physical distance—which seemed much, from Manila to Copenhagen—does not matter in these high-tech times. An excellent example of this is the smooth collaboration between 1902 Software and our media company."

What we do
Complete Umbraco website development
Full site builds from planning through launch - theme selection or custom design, package configuration, hosting setup, optimization. Built for performance, conversions, and SEO.
Custom web applications
Umbraco works for internal business applications, not just public websites. Build employee portals, document management systems, workflow applications, or data management interfaces behind your firewall. Umbraco's ASP.NET foundation makes it suitable for secure, internal-facing applications that don't require internet access.
Custom package development
If existing Umbraco packages don't meet your needs, we build custom solutions in C# for specialized functionality, unique workflows, or proprietary integrations.
Umbraco support
Ongoing maintenance handled by the same team that built your site. Updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and feature additions. Typical 24-hour turnaround.
System integrations
Connect Umbraco to ERP, PIM, CRM systems, marketing automation, mobile apps, and other business systems. ASP.NET integration is typically more straightforward when your infrastructure already runs on this framework.
Project takeover
We take over existing Umbraco sites or stalled projects. Quick assessment, problem identification, and establishment of reliable ongoing support.
Performance and SEO
Speed optimization and technical SEO implementation. We configure Umbraco for search engine visibility and fast page delivery, addressing both technical requirements and user experience factors that affect rankings.
How AI accelerates development
More accurate scoping
AI analyzes requirements against similar Umbraco or .NET projects to provide realistic timelines.
Faster standard development
Common Umbraco patterns - document types, templates, data types, basic packages - move faster through AI-assisted code generation.
Earlier problem detection
Automated testing catches issues during development, not after launch.
Better code consistency
AI tools help maintain coding standards across the entire project. This means faster delivery and fewer issues after go-live.
Why use Umbraco
ASP.NET infrastructure match
If your business runs on ASP.NET, Umbraco integrates more easily with your existing systems than CMS platforms built on PHP or other frameworks.
C# developers on your team
If your team already works in C#, they can maintain and extend Umbraco without learning new languages or hiring specialized developers for a different platform.
Developer-friendly
Clean architecture, extensive documentation, active community. Developers find Umbraco straightforward to work with.
Enterprise-ready
Used by large organizations that need robust CMS capabilities with the reliability of the .NET ecosystem.
Umbraco packages
Packages extends Umbraco’s core functionality:
Commercial packages
Pre-built solutions for common needs - forms, media management, workflows, integrations.
Free community packages
Open-source packages built by the Umbraco community. Varying quality and maintenance levels.
Custom packages
If no existing package fits your needs, we build custom packages tailored to your requirements.
We help you evaluate which packages to use and build custom solutions when needed.
Theme vs custom design
Theme-based approach
Faster launch, lower cost. Start with a proven design foundation and customize for your brand. Good when you need quick deployment and the theme structure fits your content.
Custom UI/UX
Built specifically for your brand and requirements. Complete design control. Takes longer and costs more, but you get exactly what you want.
We help you choose based on your timeline, budget, and how unique your design needs to be.
Our Umbraco team
Our developers have at least 6-7 years experience in .NET or Umbraco development. All are in-house, full-time employees.

Commonly asked questions
When should I choose Umbraco over other CMS platforms?
Umbraco makes sense when your business runs on ASP.NET infrastructure and you want easier integration with existing systems, when your team already works in C# and can maintain the site without learning new languages, when you need a developer-friendly CMS with clean architecture and extensive documentation, or when you require enterprise-grade capabilities within the .NET ecosystem.
Can Umbraco be used for internal business applications?
Yes. Umbraco works for internal business applications, not just public websites. You can build employee portals, document management systems, workflow applications, or data management interfaces behind your firewall. Umbraco’s ASP.NET foundation makes it suitable for secure, internal-facing applications that don’t require internet access.
Should I use a theme-based approach or custom design for Umbraco?
Theme-based approach offers faster launch and lower cost—starting with a proven design foundation and customizing for your brand. Custom design provides complete control built specifically for your brand and requirements. Choose based on your timeline, budget, and how unique your design needs to be.
When should I build a custom Umbraco package instead of using an existing one?
Build custom when no existing package fits your needs, when your specific workflows require functionality that existing packages don’t provide, or when you need proprietary integrations. Use existing packages (commercial or community) when quality options exist that meet your requirements.
How does AI make Umbraco development faster?
AI analyzes requirements against similar Umbraco or .NET projects for more accurate estimates, accelerates standard development through assisted code generation for common patterns, catches issues earlier through automated testing, and helps maintain coding standards for better consistency. This means faster delivery and fewer issues after launch.
What AI features can be added to Umbraco sites?
We can integrate content personalization based on visitor behavior, AI-powered chatbots for customer service, smart search with intent understanding, automated content generation for landing pages or blogs, and conversion optimization through automated testing of variations.
