In this section, you will find information about which frameworks, languages, and platforms work best with Umbraco to create user-friendly, responsive websites.
Before diving in, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with some key concepts. This section introduces these concepts and explains how they are used in the Umbraco backoffice.
How Umbraco Works
Your website’s content is structured using Document Types, which define the types of content you can create. Each Document Type is composed of Properties, which utilize Data Types to define the type of data that can be entered. Every Data Type relies on a Property Editor, which determines how content is edited in the backoffice.
Once content is created using Document Types, it is displayed on your website through Templates.
Key Terminology
There are a lot of terminologies here. Let's look at breaking these terms down:
Document Types: Define the structure and type of content on your website.
Data Types: Specify the kind of data a Property can store (for example, text, number, date).
Property Editors: Control how content is entered and displayed in the backoffice.
Templates: Determine how content is rendered on the front end of your website.
