Content management for government

A CMS your editors actually want to use — with the workflows, permissions, and accessibility guardrails that public-sector publishing demands.

The problem with most agency CMS

Built for developers, not for editors

Most government CMS platforms are either ancient SharePoint installs that nobody understands, or enterprise products with licensing bills that keep growing while the editor experience stays stuck in 2012.

We build — or migrate to — modern, editor-friendly CMS platforms that match how your departments actually publish.

Platforms we work with

  • Custom Laravel-based CMS (recommended for tight integration)
  • Headless CMS (Statamic, Strapi, Sanity)
  • WordPress VIP / Multisite (when content team is large)
  • Drupal (when migrating an existing Drupal site)
  • Migration from SharePoint, Sitecore, OpenText, or static HTML

Capabilities

What your editors get on day one

Block-based editing

Pre-built, accessible content blocks. Editors compose pages without touching code or breaking the design.

Role-based permissions

Department-scoped access so the Parks team can’t accidentally edit the Tax Assessor’s pages.

Editorial workflows

Draft, review, approve, schedule. Configurable per content type with email notifications.

Versioning & rollback

Every change tracked with one-click rollback. Audit log for every publish event.

Accessible by default

Built-in alt-text reminders, heading-order checks, and contrast validation as content is authored.

Search & taxonomy

Configurable site search with synonyms, plus taxonomies for cross-department content reuse.

Who it’s for

Agencies where many people publish

This fits a city with many departments, a county where each elected office owns its pages, or a state agency whose program staff post updates. It also fits a small team stuck on a platform no one can support. IT or communications usually leads, with input from the clerk or records office.

The common problems are familiar. Only one person knows how to publish. Pages go out without review. Old content never comes down. A new CMS fixes the process, not just the software.

What your agency provides

  • A list of departments and who publishes for each
  • Your approval rules: who drafts, reviews and publishes
  • Access to the current CMS or a full content export
  • Records-retention rules that apply to web content
  • Editors who can attend training sessions

The process

How a CMS project runs

  1. 1

    Discovery and scoping

    We map your departments, content types and approval rules, and choose the platform with you. You get a written scope.

  2. 2

    Design and architecture

    We define roles, workflows and content types, and design the accessible blocks your editors will use.

  3. 3

    Build and iterate

    We configure the CMS in two-week sprints and demo it to your editors as it takes shape.

  4. 4

    Test, train and launch

    We migrate content, run acceptance testing with your editors and train each department before go-live.

  5. 5

    Hypercare and transition

    We answer editor questions closely after launch, then hand off to maintenance or your own team.

These are the same phases we use on every project. The full plan is on our implementation page.

FAQ

Questions about a new CMS

How do we buy a CMS project?
Through your normal process. We respond to RFPs and RFQs, or work under a cooperative purchasing agreement. The fixed-fee statement of work lists any third-party license costs separately.
How long does a CMS migration take?
It depends on how many pages and content types move. The written scope sets a date for each phase before the build starts.
Who owns the content and the CMS setup?
Your agency owns its content. The statement of work sets ownership of the code and configuration before work starts, and handoff documentation explains how everything is stored.
Does the CMS help editors publish accessible pages?
Yes. Content blocks are built to WCAG 2.2 AA, and the editor flags missing alt text, skipped headings and low contrast as authors write.
Who helps our editors after launch?
We train each department before go-live and stay close during hypercare. After that, editor support tickets are part of our maintenance tiers.
