A website for your municipality or local government

A local authority needs a special kind of website. Residents must find their way quickly, information must be correct and up to date, and it must be accessible to everyone. At the same time you usually have no IT department of your own working on it every day, and no budget for expensive custom work that you cannot manage yourself afterwards.

That is often where it pinches. You have a nice site built, and six months later an outdated regulation is still on it because nobody can take it off without calling the builder.

What a local authority really needs

A few things keep coming back:

1. Making changes yourself. A new regulation, the opening hours of the service desk, an announcement for an event. You should be able to publish that today, not next week after a ticket.

2. Multilingual where needed. If you work in a municipality with residents who speak other languages, or near a border, you manage your site in Dutch, French, English or German from the same environment.

3. More than just pages. Registrations for an activity, an event with preferences, paying online for a ticket or a product. That is part of the work of a local authority, and at Livalos it is already ready in the same environment.

How Livalos solves this

You manage your site yourself in your browser, without a line of code, with the strength of Drupal underneath. You work with sections and blocks, so your pages keep looking neat and consistent, even if the person managing them is not a web expert.

Drupal is not the basis by chance, by the way. It is widely used around the world by governments and large organisations precisely because it is robust and multilingual. The downside was always the complexity. Livalos removes that complexity and keeps the power: you manage it yourself, we make sure it keeps working.

And because it is a platform, it grows with what you need. Today a clear informative site, tomorrow registrations for the summer activities, later a newsletter to residents. No second supplier, no separate tools you have to tie together.

For local authorities that want to be in control

Livalos already works today for local governments and smaller organisations that want a professional site without their own IT team. No expensive custom work you then depend on, but a platform you manage yourself and that grows with your authority.

What it costs: the Livalos Platform with the website app is EUR 35 per month, billed yearly and excluding VAT. Registrations for activities are the event app, EUR 10 per month extra.
