  • Custom branding per site
  • One site or a whole portfolio
  • WCAG 2.2 AA · bilingual
  • Backed by open source — Drupal

A Simple Spark platform — built for municipal teams and the agencies that serve them.

How it works

From provisioned to published

A branded site, structured content, and editing anyone can use — the same workflow whether you run one municipality or manage many.

01

Provision a branded site in minutes

Spin up a new municipality from the dashboard and it comes online already structured — council, meetings, documents, news, alerts, and forms — with its own colours, logo, and typography. Nothing starts from a blank screen.

A single dashboard for one site or a whole portfolio of them.

02

Bring content across, structured for residents

Pages, bylaws, minutes, news, and rosters import from an existing site, a spreadsheet, or the filing cabinet — organized into searchable, filterable sections the way residents expect to find them.

A Stratford demo brought 38 bylaws, budgets, and minutes across in one pass.

03

Edit anything, from a simple form

Everyday updates — a meeting, a news post, a document — are forms staff fill in, no code and no ticket. Roles are scoped so each editor sees only what they manage, and the platform handles hosting, security, and updates underneath.

Same-day usable after a short walkthrough — for town staff or agency editors.

One platform, every municipal job

Not add-ons, not upsells — the things a municipal website is for, working from day one. Here’s the short list; the full tour, with screenshots, is one click away.

How the work splits

Editors edit. The platform handles the rest.

Everyday content is a simple form; the infrastructure underneath is handled. The same split works whether a town clerk keeps one site current or an agency runs a portfolio of them.

Editors edit

Post news, upload minutes, update hours — simple forms for everyday content. And when a page needs rearranging, editors move ready-made sections around visually. Roles are scoped, so everyone sees only what they manage. No training courses, no code.

The platform handles

Every site runs on the same proven foundation — backed by Drupal, the open-source software governments run on worldwide — kept patched and current automatically. Hosting, security, and upgrades are handled underneath, per site or across a whole portfolio.

  • Custom branding — colours, logo, and type per site
  • Hosting, security, and backups included
  • Software upgrades — invisible to editors
  • Manage one site or a whole portfolio

No lock-in. Your content stays yours — export it any time.
