Optimize communication with accessible subsites
As a local government (municipality, water board, province, or other local authorities), you want to effectively communicate important information to your residents. But do you recognize this problem? Managing multiple websites costs your team too much time, resources, and energy. How do you ensure that all these websites are not only up-to-date and accessible, but also comply with strict legislation? The answer lies in a central, efficient solution that brings everything together and makes it manageable, without compromising on quality or security.
A subwebsite is the perfect solution for bringing important topics to the attention of residents. Examples include topics such as sustainability, urban development, WOO requests, or cemeteries.
In addition to the main website for primary services, a sub-site is therefore the ideal way to bring targeted information to the attention of residents.
