We recently achieved Umbraco Platinum Partner status. Chief Technology Officer, John Ennew explains how this will benefit our clients and partners.

I’m incredibly proud to share some exciting news from manifesto: we have officially achieved Umbraco Platinum Partner status.

This is a validation of our team's expertise, commitment, and successful delivery of many digital experiences using the Umbraco Content Management System. 

For our clients who use Umbraco, this means an even stronger, more strategic partnership with a team always challenging themselves to be the best, focused on our manifesto commitment in pursuit of a better world.

This recognition from Umbraco is a testament to the countless hours our team has poured into mastering the platform, delivering complex projects, and contributing to the wider Umbraco ecosystem. Over the past 5 years our team has spent a lot of time in the Umbraco community, contributing code back and getting involved in their wider initiatives.

It signifies the highest level of technical proficiency and a proven track record of successful, enterprise-grade Umbraco solutions.

So, what does this elevated partnership mean for our clients?

  • Deeper expertise and advanced solutions: Platinum status demonstrates our ability to handle even the most complex, large-scale, and security-sensitive Umbraco projects. Our developers undergo rigorous certification and training, ensuring they're at the forefront of Umbraco technology and best practices. This means we can deliver custom, pixel-perfect, and on-brand experiences that are secure, scalable, and tailored to your unique needs.

  • Priority access and direct Umbraco HQ relationship: As a Platinum Partner, we benefit from priority support and early access to new features and roadmap updates directly from Umbraco HQ. This close working relationship ensures your digital platforms remain aligned with the future of Umbraco, incorporating the latest performance improvements and security enhancements, and any potential roadblocks are handled as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

  • Long-term strategic partnership: We’re not just here for the launch; we’re here for the long haul. Our Platinum status underscores our commitment to providing ongoing support, proactive maintenance, and strategic guidance to ensure your Umbraco website or portal continues to evolve with your organisation’s goals. We understand the pressures our clients face, from regulatory compliance to stakeholder expectations, and we build platforms that hold up under pressure and deliver measurable impact.

  • Reduced risk and increased confidence: Partnering with a Platinum agency like manifesto reduces risk and increases reward. It means fewer compromises, smarter steps, and the confidence that your technical foundation and agency partner can handle your boldest ideas. We can help you navigate challenges, spot potential issues before they arise, and adapt to rapid change with confidence.

Last week, some of our team were fortunate enough to attend the annual Umbraco Codegarden event in Denmark. It was an inspiring experience, filled with insights into the exciting new features coming to the CMS. 

We were genuinely impressed by the forward-thinking approach of Umbraco HQ and the vibrant community that surrounds it. You can read all about our trip and the highlights we discovered on our Codegarden 2025 highlights blog This Platinum Partnership with Umbraco is another significant step on that journey, reinforcing our ability to deliver purposeful and positive impact for people, planet, and society.

Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with Umbraco.
