We use GOV.UK Design Standards
GOV.UK have design guidelines for website content, accessibility and usability.
We adopt these standards to create great-looking, clear, functional websites. This allows viewers of your site to instantly recognise that you’re an official government body and promote the highest values of accessibility and transparency.
As the standard evolves, your website will evolve with it, taking the wealth of research and experience of government service teams, and ensuring your site stays at the cutting edge.

Finally, a website that's easy to manage
We know that updating content on your website is time-consuming and often requires a degree in computing! We wanted to fix that.
We provide an easy-to-use login interface which allows structured news, documents, and other content to be added by you and your colleagues without fuss.
This interface evolves over time, so as new legal requirements appear, you're covered.

Integration with Parish Online mapping
Your site connects to your Parish Online digital mapping account to ensure that the work you do in Parish Online is reflected on your website without duplication.
Your time is precious, so having to publish content to your website manually is not efficient. We link your Parish Online maps to your website to automatically publish the content you want.

A mobile-first, responsive design
Analytics show that visitors prefer to access Local Authority resources on a mobile phone, so our design is focused on speed and accessibility on even the most low-powered devices.
The website automatically adapts to the screen size of the user, so it works effectively on desktop, tablet and mobile, and keeps all content visible in a mobile view.
