We're here to help

We know building a website can be complex. Maybe you need help in maintaining your website? Here you'll find tips on how to make the most out of your GovCMS journey.

Your GovCMS Journey

There are a number of steps to take when jumping onboard our platform. We've taken the guess work out of the leg work and outlined each phase of the journey from evaluating our service to decommissioning your site (if you ever need to leave). Dive into each phase below. 

  • ""

    In this phase it’s all about understanding if GovCMS is right for you. This might mean taking a closer look at our service and distribution, checking out our pricing plans, and trying to fully understand your website project's requirements.

  • ""

    The onboarding phase involves planning, project management and some technical setup, but don't worry, the GovCMS Onboarding Team will guide you through the process. Our team will work with you up until your website is ready to Go Live and beyond.

  • ""

    Keeping your website up and running requires maintenance. Maintenance tasks include keeping your website’s content and project access up to date, making design enhancements, and procuring service providers for development work.

  • ""

    We're sorry to see you go. Projects change over time and Machinery of Government (MoG) changes can mean a site is no longer required or needs to be moved to a new team. We're here to guide you through this process.
