Govstack CMS is a web content management system designed for public sector websites. Teams can create and edit dynamic pages in a Word-like editor, then route content to creators, editors, and approvers or schedule it for publication. Page design controls include layouts, backgrounds, CSS, colors, and fonts; navigation can be built by arranging sections and subpages. The CMS supports configurable navigation and search, multilingual publishing, document management, and multiple sites. Publishing options include news, alerts, pop-ups, and real-time notifications, with images, PDFs, vector files, and videos accepted. Listed widgets connect services such as ACTIVENet Activities, PowerBI, SmartRecruiters listings, Trumba event feeds, Edsby News & Events, and ApplyToEducation job feeds. Add-ons include Business Directory and Media Manager. Organizations can also create password-protected areas for internal or confidential material. Govstack says the CMS is hosted in Microsoft Azure and has documented security procedures and continuous vulnerability management. The maker states a 99.95% availability guarantee with 24/7/365 monitoring. Pricing is available on request.
