Kent-based agency — with a global reach
Yes, we're based in Kent, but we still need to work with the best companies throughout the country and the globe. Boundaries don't mean anything; from engineering companies in Sussex to finance firms in London and national timber merchants in Scotland, we can support and be the digital partner to companies looking to grow.
Where ever they are.
Our Umbraco digital approach
At Kayo Digital, we believe in developing sites that serve our clients’ clients above all. As an Umbraco digital agency, we start each project by understanding your audience’s goals, challenges, and browsing habits. This approach helps us craft intuitive layouts, seamless navigation, and features that genuinely solve users’ problems.
Umbraco’s open-source nature empowers us to tailor your website without unnecessary complexity or licensing fees. We integrate best practices for search visibility, site speed, and security, so you benefit from a stable, high-performing foundation. Our commitment to transparent communication ensures you know exactly how we’re helping you achieve long-term success.
Integration, scalability, and the Umbraco website builder
Seamless integration is vital in today’s digital environment. Our custom Umbraco development includes robust connections to CRMs, ERPs, or eCommerce platforms, ensuring consistent data and smooth operations. We tap into the powerful Umbraco website builder for rapid page creation, helping your team manage content efficiently when deadlines are tight.
By utilising Umbraco’s open-source architecture, we build modular solutions that grow alongside your business — whether you’re adding new services, supporting high-traffic campaigns, or integrating Umbraco Commerce for more sophisticated online transactions. This strategy lets you expand without costly overhauls, keeping both users and internal teams satisfied.
Custom Umbraco package development
Off-the-shelf extensions don’t always address your website’s unique needs. That’s why Kayo Digital offers Umbraco package development — creating bespoke extensions that go beyond the standard functionality. By tapping into Umbraco’s open-source foundation, our developers can craft new features or workflows tailored to your specific goals.
Whether you want advanced data integrations, customised property editors, or AI functions, our Umbraco specialists design solutions that boost performance and user satisfaction. If you have a vision for extending your Umbraco setup, we’ll turn it into a reality.
Enhancing user experience, SEO, and performance
We believe that any custom Umbraco development should prioritise user experience from top to bottom. Kayo Digital starts with real customer journeys, crafting responsive layouts and intuitive calls to action that keep visitors engaged. Our multi-device design cuts bounce rates and maintains brand credibility across devices.
On the technical side, we incorporate essential SEO practices — schema markup, clean URLs, caching, and more — to help your Umbraco website rank well. We also monitor site speed, regularly fine-tuning plugin settings or code to optimise load times. By merging user-focused design with performance best practices, we position your site for sustained digital success.
Security, support, and long-term partnership
Data protection and continuous improvement underpin every Kayo Digital project. We implement SSL encryption, timely updates and maintenance, and proactive testing to safeguard your Umbraco website against evolving threats. Our support maintenance packages include periodic updates to keep your platform current.
Viewing each engagement as a partnership, we remain by your side post-launch, helping your digital presence adapt to new opportunities without compromising the user experience. This commitment to reliability and growth-oriented thinking is what sets our custom Umbraco development approach apart.
