# Building Euronomy the European Way

> How Euronomy is built: Umbraco, the Danish CMS, plus the European and open-source tools we run on, and the gaps we still have to fill.

A site that champions European alternatives ought to be built on them, so we try to run Euronomy on European and open-source tools wherever we can, starting with Umbraco, the Danish CMS that powers these pages.

We are honest about the gaps. Umbraco runs on Microsoft's .NET, and we lean on Cloudflare for speed and security. Below are the tools we build with, the European ones we are proud of and the few we have not yet found a home-grown replacement for.
