Warrington Council’s new website for their investment & regeneration agency has launched. It is a great example of doing more with a council satellite site that doesn’t have the same budget as the main .GOV site.

This marks the first implementation for a Council Intranet site using the Platform. Having previously built Wrexham Council's main .GOV site, we were contracted to build their new Intranet using the Platform. This has led to the addition of multiple new features, now available as part of the default install.

The Platform has been upgraded from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9, allowing it to keep receiving security updates after older versions of the content management system are decommissioned by Drupal later this year.

The ability to have forums on your site is now part of the default Platform installation.

Documentation for the current version of the Platform has been completed. Any piece of software needs a thorough guide to ensure new users get the most out of it. This online manual will continually grow and update alongside the Platform as more features are added.

We are pleased to announce that the demo site showcasing the Platform's default installation has gone live and is available for public viewing.
