A website isn't always the answer.

Controversial? 🤭

For Foster + Partners, it was an intranet, built on Umbraco with Azure Cognitive Search 👏

Cogworks Head of Development Imran has just delivered a smashing talk at DevOpsDays Montréal!

He chatted about the method that helped one of the UK's leading charities, Prostate Cancer UK, cut its hosting costs and carbon emissions by around 85%! ✨

At the start of this year, we thought:
🌱 Why isn't an easy-to-understand digital sustainability website (beyond just counting carbon)?

And then this happened:

Why should your agency invest in employees contributing to #Umbraco? 🤔

For Jeffrey Schoemaker the answer is clear! He has led by example for years. And by supporting contributions, he’s built a team that’s sharper, more engaged, and deeply connected to the ecosystem they work in.
A man with short brown hair and a trimmed beard speaks while standing indoors, wearing a green shirt under a navy blue hoodie. He appears mid-sentence in a well-lit, casual workspace setting with blurred people and posters in the background. Below him, a quote reads: “I’ve always encouraged my team to contribute to Umbraco in any form that’s suited for that team member.” The quote is attributed to Jeffrey Schoemaker, identified as the former CEO of Perplex and a long-time Umbraco community member. Umbraco’s logo is displayed at the bottom. A graphic with a rounded quote icon at the top displays text in a centered white box with a deep blue background. The quote reads: “Whether it is writing a good bug report, creating a pull request with a fix, contributing to the documentation, pitching new ideas and features, or speaking or writing about the solutions we’ve created.” The quote is credited to Jeffrey Schoemaker, noted as the former CEO of Perplex and a long-time Umbraco community member. Umbraco’s logo is shown at the bottom of the image. A stylized graphic features a centered quote in a white text box on a dark blue background with curved patterns. The quote states: “Contributing to Umbraco is a win-win-win. You learn from contributing, the product gets better with your contributions, and the end client gets a more experienced team member working on the solution. At Perplex, we believe that’s the right way of doing it!” The quote is by Jeffrey Schoemaker, described as the former CEO of Perplex and a long-time Umbraco community member. The Umbraco logo appears at the bottom.

"Of course we were worried no one would use it."

That's what we thought when we launched our Website Carbon Calculator in July. Months of work, and would anyone actually care about their website's carbon footprint? 👣🌱

Matt Wise and Phil Whittaker’s MCP talk was delivered in a room completely jam packed with attendees and there’s no surprise why.

One of the best talks the #umbraco community has ever seen and quite possibly the biggest highlight of #codegarden so far.

Great work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
