Theme subsites

In addition to a main website, you can also use sub-sites. For example, to highlight specific themes for residents such as sustainability, urban development, WOO requests, or the local swimming pool. You can easily manage these sub-sites from our CMS. Naturally, sub-sites offer the same quality, security, and accessibility you have come to expect from Shift2. Curious about the possibilities?

Customer experience

"Shift2's CMS is user-friendly and offers a wide range of possibilities. We would like to have a little more control over the layout of buttons and drop-down boxes, for example, to ensure consistency. Sometimes it's the little things that matter, such as the font size. We can fine-tune this by adjusting the style elements. We also use the templates available within the CMS, for example for projects or election information. That flexibility is great."
