Umbraco Development for US Companies.

A UK Umbraco Silver Partner agency set up to work with US teams. Your work moves forward while your office sleeps.

A UK agency your US team can actually work with.

We are Simon Antony, an Umbraco Silver Partner agency based in Llandudno, North Wales and the Isle of Man, and a brand of Simplepage Ltd. We are one of fewer than 150 Silver Partners worldwide, we have delivered more than 200 Umbraco sites, working with the platform since v4 in 2011, and our working setup is built to suit US hours: our afternoon is your morning, so questions asked in your morning stand-up get answered the same day, and work briefed at the end of your day is often waiting for you before you are back at your desk.

You get an agency, not a lone contractor. Simon Steed (Umbraco MVP 2026) leads the technical work, William Steed is an Umbraco Certified Master, and Sharon Steed runs the commercial side as Managing Director. Contracts are signed online through Onboardo, our own contracting platform, so there is no transatlantic paperwork friction.

If you would rather embed a single senior developer with your team than engage an agency, Simon also works directly with US clients through Umbraco Freelancer. We will tell you honestly which fits.

Time zones
New York (Eastern) 5 hours behind the UK. Our 2pm to 6pm is your 9am to 1pm, four hours of live overlap every working day
Chicago (Central) 6 hours behind. Your morning stand-up lands in our mid afternoon, with answers before your lunch
Los Angeles (Pacific) 8 hours behind. Brief us at your close of play and the work is in progress while you sleep
Meetings We keep slots free into the US afternoon, so calls happen in your working day, not at your 6am
Why us

What working with us looks like from the US.

Everything is remote first and runs on the same process we use for our UK clients. The difference a US team notices is the clock working in their favour.

Senior team, no hand-offs
You deal directly with the people building your site, an Umbraco MVP and an Umbraco Certified Master, not an account management layer.
Silver Partner escalation
Direct access to Umbraco HQ support when something needs escalating, standing behind every project we deliver.
Hosting if you want it
Managed Umbraco Cloud from £99 a month all-in, or hosting on our own servers, with security patches applied within 48 hours of release.
Contracts without friction
Engagements are contracted through Onboardo, our own contracting platform: clear terms, signed online in minutes.

Working with a UK Umbraco agency from the US.

The questions US companies ask before engaging a UK agency, answered straight.

Our working setup is built for US hours: UK afternoons overlap East Coast mornings, we keep meeting slots free into the US afternoon, and everything is remote first, running on the same process we use for UK clients.

New York is 5 hours behind the UK and Los Angeles is 8. That gives a four hour live overlap with the East Coast every day, and work briefed at your close of play is often finished before your next morning. The time difference works for you, not against you.

You contract with Simplepage Ltd, a company registered in the Isle of Man, company number 139122C. Simon Antony is a brand of Simplepage Ltd and has been trading since 2008. Contracts are signed online through Onboardo, our own contracting platform, so there is no couriered paperwork and the terms are clear before any work starts.

A senior team of three: Simon Steed, Umbraco MVP 2026, leads the technical work; William Steed is an Umbraco Certified Master and developer; Sharon Steed is Managing Director and runs the commercial side. No juniors learning on your budget.

Yes. Managed Umbraco Cloud is £99 a month all-in on the Starter plan, bigger Cloud plans pass through at cost plus the £99 managed service, and hosting on our own servers is £149 per site per month. Security patches land within 48 hours of release and backups are verified by test restores.

If you want a single senior developer embedded with your team, Simon works with US clients directly through Umbraco Freelancer. If you want delivery capacity, managed hosting and continuity beyond one person, that is what the agency is for. Tell us what you are building and we will tell you honestly which fits.

Two lines about your project and your time zone is enough. You will get a reply within your working day from the person who would actually do the work, and an honest read on whether we are the right fit.
