5 Umbraco packages you can´t live without!

This is our list of packages for Umbraco that we work with on a daily basis and couldn´t live without.

  1. Desktop Media Uploader
    Awesome package by Matt Brailsford that enables you to batch upload media with folder structure intact. We use it to upload everything, even if its just a singel image.
  2. UnVersion
    Another awesome package by Matt Brailsford that enables you to turn off version control on specific document types. Perfect if you for example import articles with CMSImport on a scheduled basis.
  3. 301 URL Tracker
    It´s a must for all websites, that keeps track of renamed and deleted documents. It also has the ability to help with 301 when you migrate from another system. This should defenetly be in the core om V5! Thanks Stefan Kip!
  4. ImageGen
    This package by Douglas Robar is used att all times. It enables you to automaticly resize and crop images. We use PRO version for 60% of all our websites.
  5. CMSImport
    This package enables you to import stuff into both content, media and members. It also has a scheduler in the PRO version. We use this to import products and its structure from ERP-systems directly into Umbraco content nodes. Thanks Richard Soeteman!

Three of this packages I use in all my web projects. Two I didn't use yet, UnVersion and CMSImports. Will CMSImport for one of my next webprojects. A package that should be added to this list, because it's indespensible is Cultiv Search Engine Sitemap. Lot's of thanks for this to Sebastiaan Janssen

I would add uComponents by Lee Kelleher to that list. Every single site we build has uComponents installed as standard!

@Anthony we have adopted our own sitemap package that we use as standard in our ToxicBasePack Boilerplate. But I agree, its very usefull.
