Umbraco architecture and development

Practical architecture reviews, custom development and integration engineering for agencies and organisations maintaining established Umbraco platforms.

Architecture that supports the next change

A technical review examines how content models, custom code and external services fit together. The goal is to identify the constraints that matter to your next release and recommend changes your team can maintain, rather than redesigning everything at once.

Custom functionality with clear boundaries

JP Codex can support custom back-office extensions, application services and integration development. Each piece needs clear responsibilities, failure handling and a testing approach that fits the existing solution.

Review performance and maintainability

Begin with an observed problem: a slow workflow, unreliable integration or difficult code change. Establish evidence before selecting a remedy. Recommendations can cover application structure, data access, configuration and practical technical-debt reduction.

Work with your delivery team

Engage for a defined implementation, an architecture assessment or embedded senior support. Share the current solution, the decisions you need to make and your release constraints to shape a useful first conversation.

Before you enquire

Can you help with a site you did not build?

Yes. An initial review establishes how the existing application works, which dependencies matter and what access is available. The proposed scope follows that review, whether the next step is an assessment, implementation or embedded support.

What determines the cost and timing of an upgrade?

The starting version, custom code, packages, integrations, data migration and release requirements all affect the work. JP Codex discusses scope, assumptions and unresolved investigations before agreeing an estimate. A version number alone is not enough for a reliable quote.

Will we work directly with the engineer doing the work?

JP Codex provides hands-on engineering and consulting. Technical discussions connect directly to the work being assessed or implemented.

Can you work alongside our agency or internal developers?

Yes. Deliver covers a defined project, Advise covers reviews and recommendations, and Embed provides remote senior engineering support within a delivery team. Responsibilities, access, communication and availability are discussed for each engagement.

What do you need from us to start?

Begin with your current platform, the problem or planned change, known constraints and your preferred engagement. Repository and environment access can be arranged after the review scope and access requirements are agreed. Do not send credentials through the enquiry form.

What happens after implementation?

Testing, release preparation, deployment support, documentation and handover can be included in the agreed scope. Any follow-on support, responsibilities and availability are discussed explicitly rather than assumed to be part of every project.
