- an open culture that values, incentivises and expects digital ways of working from every member of the project team;

- publishing our work under open source licences.
A joined-up experience
LocalGov Drupal is used for a range of sites, from microsites to the primary council site. Although there are a great many common challenges, every site still has unique challenges. While some councils may have a robust and up-to-date set of content, others may be looking to perform a content audit. Equally, the amount of up-front design can vary from little more than logos and colours, through to detailed component libraries.
As a full-service agency, we are able to offer the whole range of services needed for a successful site, but our focus on forming one-team with our clients allows us to use our experience to elevate and accelerate delivery, allowing the skills of our clients’ internal teams to shine.
Cloud-native, technology agnostic
Our team are accustomed to working with all the common cloud-native technologies. We are equally happy hosting sites in Amazon, Azure or Google Cloud Platform; and are happy to deliver into your organisation’s existing cloud platforms in collaboration with your internal architectural and technical services functions. We’ve designed highly effective hosting environments for these platforms, allowing self-healing and scaling in response to load.
This approach achieves uptimes in excess of 99.99%, with fast response times and web application firewall protection. We combine this with an out-of-hours service desk offering, and an ISO 27001/Cyber Essentials Plus accredited process for managing information security.
Let’s work together
Whether you’re looking to deliver a large-scale transformation, or considering if LGD could be part of your technology offering in future, we’d love to chat. Get in touch today for a free 30 minute consultation.
