What Is Umbraco Heartcore?

A Headless CMS for Omnichannel Experiences

Modern digital experiences no longer live on just one website. Today, content needs to flow seamlessly across websites, mobile apps, kiosks, IoT devices, CRMs, and future channels we haven’t even imagined yet. This shift is exactly why headless CMS platforms have become essential—and where Umbraco Heartcore truly shines.

Umbraco Heartcore is Umbraco’s headless CMS offering, designed for organizations that want the content power of Umbraco combined with complete frontend freedom and API-first delivery.

What Is Umbraco Heartcore?

Umbraco Heartcore is a headless CMS built by Umbraco, where content is managed centrally and delivered via APIs to any frontend or channel.

Unlike traditional CMS platforms that tightly couple content and presentation, Heartcore separates them completely. This means:

• Editors manage content in Umbraco
• Developers build frontends in React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, mobile apps, or any custom technology
• Content is delivered through secure REST APIs

In Short: "Create content once and Deliver it everywhere."

Why Umbraco Heartcore Exists

Traditional CMS platforms work well for websites—but they struggle when:

• You need multiple frontends
• You want modern JavaScript frameworks
• You plan omnichannel or mobile-first experiences

Umbraco Heartcore was created to solve these challenges without sacrificing editorial usability, something Umbraco is known for.

Key Features of Umbraco Heartcore

1. Headless by Design

Umbraco Heartcore is API-first. Content is exposed via REST APIs, making it easy to integrate with any platform, device, or frontend framework.

2. Familiar Umbraco Backoffice

Editors still get the powerful, user-friendly Umbraco backoffice—content types, workflows, media, and permissions remain intuitive.

3. Frontend Freedom

Build experiences using:

Umbraco Heartcore runs on Umbraco Cloud, meaning hosting, security, scaling, and infrastructure are managed for you.

5. Omnichannel Ready

Whether it’s a website, mobile app, or third-party integration—Heartcore ensures content consistency across all channels.
