How LocalGov Drupal on AWS Transforms Local Government Websites

Staff Reporter

Amazon Web Services (AWS) shared a blog post authored by Will Callaghan detailing how LocalGov Drupal serves as a digital transformation resource for local governments. The initiative inspired by the UK Government's GOV.UK platform, allows 44 UK councils to share expertise and resources, significantly reducing the cost of building council websites by up to 80%. The platform uses the open-source Drupal CMS, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional solutions.

Councils collaborate on projects like microsites and accessibility, benefiting from a shared infrastructure that simplifies scaling with cloud technology. The post highlights the importance of open-source solutions and shared governance, recommending steps for effective local government collaboration. This approach not only enhances service delivery but also fosters a community of shared learning and innovation, with interest extending to organizations in other countries.
