We partner with London based organisations on expert Umbraco development
At Yoyo Design, we're an Umbraco web development agency working closely with organisations across London. We partner with brands and organisations who need a website that performs to their requirements, supports internal workflows and can grow over time without becoming difficult to manage.
We partner with London based organisations to design, build and evolve Umbraco websites that are reliable, scalable and built for long-term use. From new builds to complex upgrades and ongoing support, we help teams get more from Umbraco without unnecessary complexity.
Our work focuses on the Umbraco CMS because we believe it gives organisations flexibility without locking them into rigid systems. We design and build websites that are clear to use, well structured and built around how teams actually work day to day. Content editors can update confidently, technical foundations remain stable and the website continues to support the business as requirements change.
If you already have a website built on Umbraco or you’re planning a new website build and want a partner who understands the platform properly, whilst offering Umbraco Development Services this is where we can help.
Why do London brands choose us as their Umbraco agency?
Our relationship with our clients is built on depth of Umbraco expertise and practical delivery. We work with organisations across the London landscape that value clear thinking, technical confidence and a partner who understands what happens after launch, not just how a website looks on day one.
We’re also an Umbraco Certified Silver Partner, which reflects our experience delivering Umbraco projects across a wide range of requirements. Our team works across Umbraco new builds, Umbraco upgrades, Integrations, Long term Umbraco support, and more. This allows us to support websites throughout their lifecycle rather than at a single point in time.
From a practical perspective, we work closely with London teams consistently. We are around an hour from central London and regularly meet clients in person, in various locations across London when it adds value to the project. This balance gives clients access to senior Umbraco specialists without the overheads often associated with larger agencies, while still maintaining a close working relationship.
We also understand that London organisations also tend to operate at pace, with multiple stakeholders and evolving requirements. Our processes are built around clear communication, sensible planning and delivery that accounts for change without derailing projects.
What do we deliver as your trusted Umbraco development partner?
As an Umbraco development partner, our role goes beyond building pages. We help organisations make decisions that will stand up over time, technically and operationally.
We design and develop Umbraco websites with clear content structures, reusable components and clean templates that are easy to maintain. This makes it easier for teams to update content, launch campaigns or expand the website without constant redevelopment.
From a technical standpoint, we focus on stability, performance and security. That includes thoughtful architecture, considered package usage and development practices that reduce risk during upgrades or future changes.
We also support organisations that already have an Umbraco website but need help improving performance, extending functionality or fixing issues left behind by previous builds. Our approach is always grounded in understanding the existing setup before making changes.
End to end Umbraco services for teams across London
We provide a full range of Umbraco services, allowing London based organisations to work with a single partner across design, development and long term support.
Our Umbraco services include:
Umbraco website design and development
Umbraco upgrades and version migrations
Umbraco support and maintenance
Custom Umbraco development and integrations
Performance, accessibility and usability improvements
Ongoing optimisation and technical guidance
Each service is delivered with the same focus on clarity, stability and long term value. Whether you need a complete rebuild or targeted support for an existing Umbraco website, we tailor our approach to your internal capabilities and priorities.
Helping London businesses across a wide range of industries
We work with organisations across a broad range of sectors, many of which operate nationally or internationally while being based in London. This experience means we are comfortable working with different stakeholder groups, regulatory requirements and content needs.
Our clients include organisations in areas such as:
Charities and non-profits
Professional services
Education
Hospitality experiences
B2B organisations
And more…
While the industries differ, the underlying needs are often similar. Teams want a website that is reliable, easy to manage and capable of evolving without repeated rebuilds.
Rather than applying a fixed template, we adapt our approach based on how each organisation works, how decisions are made internally and what the website needs to support.
Our process for delivering successful Umbraco projects
We follow a defined delivery framework that balances structure with flexibility. This ensures complex Umbraco projects remain controlled and transparent, even when stakeholder groups, governance requirements or priorities evolve. Our process here at Yoyo ensures we cover:
1. Discovery and alignment
We begin by understanding your objectives, existing website setup and internal constraints. This stage includes stakeholder discussions and a review of your current platform so we can define priorities clearly before any design or development work begins.
2. Strategy and planning
We translate discovery insight into a practical plan. This includes agreeing content structure, technical architecture and project scope. Clear timelines and checkpoints are established so everyone understands what is being delivered and when.
3. Design and user experience
We design structured, accessible and considered user journeys aligned with your objectives. Content hierarchy, navigation and accessibility are addressed early so the foundations are strong before development begins.
4. Umbraco development
Our developers build the website within a clean, maintainable Umbraco framework. Performance, scalability and long term usability are prioritised, ensuring your internal team can manage content confidently.
5. Testing and validation
Before launch, we test thoroughly across devices, browsers and key user journeys. This includes functionality checks, performance review and final technical validation to ensure the website behaves as expected.
6. Launch and ongoing support
After launch, we remain involved. We provide support, monitor performance and guide future improvements as your organisation evolves. The aim is long term stability rather than a one off delivery.
This structured approach ensures that every Umbraco project is delivered with clarity, technical stability and long term usability in mind. Each stage builds logically on the last, reducing risk and avoiding last minute surprises. By combining careful planning with practical execution, we deliver websites that are not only ready at launch but prepared to support your organisation as it grows and evolves.

FAQ's
Why should we choose an Umbraco partner experienced in working with London organisations?
Working with an Umbraco partner that regularly supports London based organisations makes collaboration easier and more effective. London organisations and teams often operate at pace, with multiple stakeholders and evolving requirements. We’re used to working in that environment and structuring projects so decisions, approvals and delivery stay aligned.
At Yoyo we work closely with organisations across London, offering senior Umbraco expertise without the overheads of large city agencies. We understand the expectations London teams have around quality, responsiveness and long term thinking, and we structure our work to meet those expectations consistently.
Can you redesign or rebuild an existing Umbraco website?
Yes. Many of our projects involve redesigning or rebuilding existing Umbraco websites that no longer meet current needs.
This might involve improving structure and usability, modernising the design, addressing technical debt or preparing the website for future growth. We take time to understand how the current site was built before recommending changes, so nothing critical is lost and improvements are made with intent rather than guesswork.
Can you support large scale or complex Umbraco projects?
We regularly support Umbraco projects with complex requirements. This includes multi section websites, custom functionality, third party integrations and websites with large volumes of content.
Complexity is managed through clear planning, considered technical decisions and realistic delivery phases. Our role is to reduce risk and keep projects maintainable, rather than adding unnecessary layers that make future changes difficult.
Do you offer support and maintenance after launch?
Yes. We provide ongoing Umbraco support and maintenance for London based organisations after their website goes live.
This includes technical updates, security patching, performance improvements and help with new features or changes as your needs evolve. Some clients work with us on a regular support arrangement, while others prefer more flexible support depending on their internal setup.
Is SEO included in your Umbraco development work?
SEO services are very much considered as part of how we structure and build Umbraco websites. We focus on clear page structures, clean URLs, performance and accessibility, all of which support long term search visibility.
We work closely with our internal team or external SEO specialists where required, ensuring the technical foundation of the website supports organic growth rather than limiting it.
Can you provide training for our in-house team?
Yes. We provide training so your in-house team can confidently manage the website once it’s live.
Training is tailored to how your team works and what they need to manage day to day. This might include updating content, managing page structures or understanding how to work with Umbraco safely. The goal is to reduce dependency and give teams confidence using the platform.
