Bump Digital

Bump is officially an #Umbraco Gold Partner in Australia! 🇦🇺 Over the past 18 months we've been busy expanding and growing our presence "Down Under" from our base in Sydney – now we have reached the same level of Umbraco Partner status as we've had in the UK since 2021!

Great to catch up with the whole Bump team at #Umbraco #Codegarden!

As the Microsoft #MVPSummit and my time in Seattle 🇺🇸 comes to an end, I’m reflecting on all the amazing things I’ve seen this week, and the wonderful geeky conversations about the future of .NET, C#, AI, Azure, communities, and more. Returning to Sydney overflowing with ideas and a full heart! ❤️

On Friday, @umbraco.com Spark reminded us of the power of #community - as if we needed help remembering 🔥 Our very own Joe Glombek spoke about what a superpower an engaged, supportive and knowledgeable #tech network can be when it comes to growth and problem solving.

Our "Chief Bumpster" @callumbwhyte.bsky.social shared his expertise on building resilient applications and architectures at Programmable Sydney earlier today! He shared his over a decade of knowledge and the techniques we follow to build rock-solid solutions for our clients.

Want to get hands-on with the new #Umbraco AI extensions? I've made a video to show you how to get started, how to extend, and some initial thoughts: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGcb...

Our Chief Bumpster @callumbwhyte.bsky.social shares his thoughts on yesterday's #Umbraco Winter Keynote 📣 Lots of great company & product updates, but 2 things really stuck out... Umbraco.AI and the potential of Umbraco Compose! youtu.be/AxROa9h2-VQ

Last week marked our Lead Developer @jasonelkin.uk's 5 year Bump-iversary! You may know Jason for his love of #Umbraco or loud shirts... but he's also our resident cheese fanatic! Naturally we had to order a literal tower of British cheeses to celebrate. 🧀 🥳

Happy New Year! Our team is back and ready to get stuck in with some juicy technical projects! 🎉 Chief Bumpster @callumbwhyte.bsky.social shares his predictions for #Umbraco in 2026 in our latest video – AI, global Blocks, cyber threats, and migrations with Compose! youtu.be/udV4CX9XhZY

We have written 2 articles for 24 Days in #Umbraco – both packed with valuable technical insights from our experience with the latest .NET and CMS features. Be sure to check them out below (and all 20+ others too!) 24days.in/umbraco-cms/... 24days.in/umbraco-cms/... Happy Holidays everyone! 😃

A client's #Umbraco site was recently taken down by a bot. Here's a post about what happened, and what we did to mitigate the attack. If you've got an Umbraco site with forms (Umbraco Forms, or surface controllers) you probably need this WAF rule. dev.to/jasonelkin/t...

Chief Bumpster @callumbwhyte.bsky.social shares his latest dev tip for saving money on your (#Umbraco) Cloud hosting bill – in this case a small config change allows media storage to be moved, resulting in savings of over 600%! 🤑 youtu.be/oyH1gqH0CIg

Last week we were in Manchester for the Umbraco UK Partner Summit and #Umbraco In The City events - 2 days of community, learning, and late-night karaoke! We learned about the upcoming product roadmap, the global expansion of the World of Umbraco, plus some great community talks!

Umbraco 17 Beta is here! 🚀 If you're on #Umbraco 13 it's a great time to plan an upgrade to the next LTS with a team who knows how to make it smooth and painless. We sat down to share our guidance and insights from years of handling complex upgrades... www.youtube.com/watch?v=La8D...
