Solution

WordPress for Local Councils

Institutional websites for municipalities and public bodies, accessible, secure and easy to manage internally.

Who this solution is for

Local councils face unique challenges in managing their digital presence: small teams, controlled budgets, legal accessibility requirements and a genuine need for independence. Nobody wants to rely on an external vendor to update a page. WordPress, well implemented, solves exactly these problems.

What we hear in initial meetings

"The site was built in 2014 and nobody really knows how it works anymore. Any change takes weeks."

"We received a notice that we're not compliant with accessibility requirements. We don't know where to start."

"Every time we need to update a page we have to contact the company that built it and pay for it."

How we help

Compliance & accessibility

We build to WCAG 2.1 AA standards and public sector legal requirements, including a conformance report on delivery.

Full editorial independence

The council team manages the site completely independently. We train the right people for the right tasks, with no vendor dependency.

Security & long-term maintenance

We implement security best practices and deliver a clear maintenance plan so the site stays secure and up to date over time.

Who already uses WordPress in the public sector

The City of Lisbon uses WordPress for the Agenda Cultural de Lisboa website. Did you know?

Turismo do Centro (turismodocentro.pt) and many other public sector organisations are also using WordPress.
