Build your own website

Give your customers a great digital experience with a website they enjoy visiting.

Deliver excellent customer experiences with great digital content.

Traditional council website projects are often expensive and take a long time to build, while delivering underwhelming results. To solve this, Datacom has developed an all-in-one content management system (CMS) specifically for councils. Our cloud-based CMS gets your website up using high quality, best practice templates at low cost, zero friction and in a fixed timeframe.

Datacom looks after design, development, infrastructure and security, so you can focus on creating engaging websites without needing to worry about (or resource for) the technical side. In addition to providing your main corporate site, we offer a variety of templates designed specifically for smaller sub-sites that councils often need, so you can simplify your IT management and look after all your content in one place.

Creating accessible and mobile-compatible council websites relies on advanced knowledge of web administration and languages like HTML and CSS without the proper support. Our easy to use drag and drop 'site builder' technology lets you create beautiful and accessible websites which work on all devices, without needing to be an expert. Help your community access vital information and services while having a great customer experience on a responsive council website.
