Built to carry weight.
Government digital should not be split across vendors.
Separating build, hosting and support creates gaps in ownership and slows delivery.
District CMS brings platform, hosting, security and continuous improvement together under one contract, with one team responsible from build through to operation.
Managed, without the limits.
Most managed platforms cap what you can do. District is built to be extended. Developers can work on the code, integrations fit cleanly and new requirements become part of the platform.
SaaS convenience, without the ceiling.
The features that actually matter.
Multi-site Content Hub.
Manage every site in your digital estate from a single platform. Publish once, distribute across every domain. Centralise assets. Spin up subsites without a developer.
Federated Search.
One index across every site you run. Predictive suggestions, natural language understanding, autocomplete and search promotions. Citizens find answers without guessing which site to search.
Smart Forms.
Flexible form builder with multi-page flows, conditional logic and secure submission handling. Webform handlers for data posting, EDM and CRM integrations out of the box.
Integration Hub.
Flexible integration options including API, embed, link and decoupled approaches. Connect to your existing systems and data sources without forcing a rebuild.
Accessibility by default.
Accessibility is built in from the start, not added later. Every release is tested to make sure the service works for everyone.
Sovereign and secure.
Data stays in Australia, with security built into the platform and how it is operated, not left to configuration.
Global features on every site.
Sitewide alerts.
Announcements and emergency alerts across every page in one action.
SEO tools.
Inbuilt audit tools, metadata control and schema markup.
Automated sitemap.
Human and machine-readable sitemaps kept in sync.
Social integration.
Embedded sharing, card metadata, Instagram feed support.
Interactive feedback.
Page-level feedback form to capture user insights in context.
Newsletter signups.
MailChimp and third-party subscription provider integration.
Business directory.
Interactive directories with geospatial mapping and categorisation.
User accounts.
Role and permission management with SSO and two-factor authentication.
Improvement, not just maintenance.
District retainers focus on moving the platform forward. Work is defined, designed and delivered in clear cycles, with regular reviews so you know what is being done and why.
More like a product team, less like a support queue.
