ProWorks is thrilled to announce that Paul Sterling will join our team as a permanent employee! "We are really excited to have Paul working with us at ProWorks. He has a ton of Umbraco knowledge and experience, especially in the area of Cloud hosting and deployment,” said Jason Prothero, ProWorks CEO, of Paul’s addition.

Josh and I got to speak at this year's uWestFest conference! We spoke about how to talk to clients about Umbraco and its benefits if they come from a Wordpress background, and gave some concrete, actionable things you can do.

This is a follow-up to the Umbraco Anti-Patterns presentation we gave at uWestFest '17 where we talked about different ways to query umbraco. This includes more background and context for the benchmarking we talked about.

Mark and I had the privilege of speaking at uWestFest '17 this year!  It was a fun time and the conference as a whole really stepped it up. Take a look at our slides here!

We focused on the Content Editor experience and how we as Umbraco developers and designers could make their lives easier. Some of the things we presented were out of the box in Umbraco and some were packages that enhance the Content Editor experience.

Umbraco comes out-of-the-box with the backoffice URL set to www.mywebsite.com/umbraco. We wanted to see if we could change the /umbraco part, so that we could use proworks.com/umbraco as a content page. This post walks you through what we did to make it work.

This package is a simple UI enhancement to the v7 right-side dialog flyours to allow a content editor to make the dialog bigger or back to normal.  It just gives a bit more room for dialog selections and views.  With the new Document Types as grid editors, it can help to have a little extra room when its available.

This package adds a new property editor that allows you to show HTML in your content pages as properties.  Why is this cool?  Well, we use it to provide inline help to the content editors.  It is HTML so it can display images or links to more information to content editors.
