Umbraco Developer Las Vegas
Documented, so the next developer can take over
As an Umbraco developer in Las Vegas, I read Umbraco sites for Valley companies myself, write down how they work and plan the upgrade. The hosting, repository and every login stay with the owner.

Umbraco Development
An Umbraco site only one developer understood
Umbraco is a content management system built on Microsoft's .NET. Companies that run it tend to be in the Microsoft world already: a hospitality group with a .NET team, a regional business with an in-house IT department, a firm whose previous agency worked in C#. It is a capable system and it is in use at organizations that care about control.
The risk is concentration. Umbraco sites are usually built by a small number of developers who write custom document types, templates and code. When one of them leaves, the site becomes a set of decisions that nobody wrote down. Marketing cannot add a page type without a developer.

Umbraco Upgrade Problems
What a stalled upgrade looks like
The developer who remains is afraid to upgrade because the last upgrade took the site down for a day. Versions matter here. Umbraco 7 and 8 ran on the older .NET Framework and are out of support. Versions from 9 onward run on modern .NET.
A site stuck on an old version cannot take security fixes, and moving it is a project and not a button.

Umbraco Developer
One person who documents what is there
I am Justin Harris. I have worked in Las Vegas digital marketing for fourteen years and I do the work myself. I will be direct about Umbraco: no site in my portfolio runs on it, and I will not claim a project I cannot show.
What I bring to an Umbraco site is a method you can check, which is reading the site, writing down how it works and handing you a document the next developer can use. Where the job is content structure, front-end templates, tracking, speed, planning an upgrade or a decision about whether to stay, I do that work.
Where a job needs a deep rewrite of C# back-end code, I tell you at the start whether it is within what I take on, so you do not find out halfway through. The domain, hosting and every login stay yours.

Work I built, live where you can check it

Website build · Henderson
GIOSTAR: the clinic website, booking and lead tracking
I built and run giostarwellness.com for a regenerative medicine and wellness clinic in Henderson: every service page, online booking, financing and a blog. A website lead is tracked end to end, from the form to a booked consult to an active patient, with no manual steps. I also built its live brand hub, so every page, post and print piece pulls the same colours, type and rules.

Umbraco Developer Las Vegas Reviews
What clients wrote on Google

After going back and forth on whether to bring in outside help, we ended up working with Justin for some AI consulting on how to structure our operations. He laid out a clear plan, didn't overcomplicate it, and we've been running smoother since. Good fit for a service business. He knows Las Vegas and he knows this stuff.

Justin joined our team a few months before opening to replace a marketing agency that wasn’t performing. He stepped up fast. Within weeks he launched a fully redesigned website with new brand guidelines, built and delivered our marketing plan and AI strategy, and helped implement our system architecture so we could open on time. Since then, he’s made several critical enhancements to the site that helped us generate revenue in our first month. His engagement was supposed to end at opening, but he became such an integral part of our leadership team that we kept him on to help evolve our marketing and tech strategy as we grow. He’s easy to work with, pushes back when it matters, and moves easily between strategy, delivery, and operations depending on what’s needed. If you’re looking for a deeply experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated marketing, AI, or technology consultant, I highly recommend Justin Harris AI Consulting.

After going back and forth on whether to bring in outside help, we reached out to Justin for some AI consulting advice on where our service business could actually use automation. He was straightforward about what made sense and what didn't. Ended up being a useful conversation. Las Vegas has no shortage of people claiming to be experts, and he's one of the few who could back it up.

Known Justin for a few years now. Guy knows the AI space better than most people I've come across, especially here in Las Vegas where there's no shortage of people claiming to be experts.

Knew Justin before he started building AI systems for businesses, and watching what he's put together is genuinely impressive. He built out an AI automation setup for my website in Las Vegas and it changed how we handle leads completely. The guy actually runs this stuff himself, so he knows what works.

Umbraco Development Services
What I do on Umbraco sites
Umbraco work falls into five jobs, and the first is the one that makes the rest less costly.
Handover documentation
A written map of the site: document types, templates, property editors, packages, users and the hosting behind it.
Read more →Content and editor cleanup
Simplifying the back office so editors see only what they need, with the tangled parts named and fixed.
Front-end and speed work
Template changes, image handling and performance, measured on phones before and after.
Upgrade planning
A written plan for moving off an unsupported version, with the risks, the order of work and a rehearsal on a copy.
Headless and integration options
Where the editors should keep Umbraco and the front end should change, see headless CMS development for how that split works.
Read more →Who Can Access My Umbraco Site?
Who holds the keys
Before any change, I list who can reach what. On an Umbraco site that list is longer than owners expect, and it is often where the real risk sits.

- The Umbraco back office users, and whether former staff still have accounts
- The Umbraco Cloud project, if the site is hosted there, and whose billing it sits under
- The hosting account, the source repository and the deployment pipeline
- The domain registrar and the DNS records
- Third-party services the site calls, such as email, maps or search
- Whether a person other than the developer can restore from a backup
Umbraco Marketplace
Packages, and what each one costs to keep
The Umbraco Marketplace lists packages that add forms, SEO tools, backups and more. Each package is a dependency, and a dependency that stops being maintained becomes a blocker for the next upgrade. I list every package on your site, check whether it is maintained and note which version of Umbraco it supports.
The same goes for the newer Umbraco AI package: it is worth a look where it solves a real editorial task, and I will tell you when a plain workflow would do the job without adding a dependency.

Umbraco vs WordPress
Stay on Umbraco or move
| Stay and stabilise | Upgrade in place | Move to another platform | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fits when | A supported version, an editor team that is coping | An unsupported version, but the structure is sound | A small marketing site that does not need .NET |
| Main benefit | Least disruption | Security fixes, modern .NET | A platform with more people who can maintain it |
| Main risk | The same single point of failure | Custom code that will not upgrade cleanly | Losing content structure and addresses |
| What I do | Document, tidy, back up | Plan, rehearse on a copy, switch | Map, move, redirect, test |
| What you hold after | A documented site | A supported site | A site on a platform your team knows |
How Long Does Umbraco Development Take?
How the work runs
Every Umbraco job runs the same five steps.
- Step 01
Read the site
A written audit of versions, packages, users and hosting. You see it before you pay anything.
- Step 02
Document
The map of document types, templates and processes, in a file your team keeps.
- Step 03
Agree the scope
The work, the order and a date on one page.
- Step 04
Work on a copy
Changes are made and tested on a copy, and you click through it.
- Step 05
Switch and report
The live site is switched with a restore point, and I send a plain note on what changed.
How Much Does Umbraco Development Cost?
What moves the price
I quote a fixed price for a written scope after the audit. Umbraco itself is open source, and Umbraco Cloud is a paid hosting service billed by Umbraco, so ask any agency to separate those from their fee. These factors move mine.

- The version the site is on and how far it must move
- How much custom code sits behind the site
- How many packages need replacing or testing
- The number of document types and templates to document
- Hosting changes and deployment pipeline work
- Staff training and the depth of the documentation
