-# What is Umbraco Cloud?
+# Welcome to Umbraco Cloud Documentation
 
-Umbraco Cloud is a hosting option for your favorite Umbraco CMS offered by Umbraco HQ. Built on Microsoft Azure Cloud and encompassing web standard approaches, Umbraco Cloud is familiar to Umbraco's new and old users. With Umbraco Cloud, there are no limits to what you can accomplish. You can do anything with Umbraco and web technology with Umbraco Cloud.
+The Umbraco Cloud documentation is now organized around the user journey, not just features. Why? Because building and managing a project is more than a list of tools, it’s a progression of real-life steps you take from first login to go-live and beyond.
