Plone for Government

Plone makes it possible for dozens of staff scattered across many city departments to easily update the web pages they are responsible for.

Albuquerque ScreenshotPlone is reliable


Plone is a web collaboration and publishing system used by government agencies around the world, from Albuquerque to Africa. It solves a very real problem for government agencies as it conforms to state and federally mandated guidelines for accessibility. And it works in all major browsers.

Plone is affordable


Plone is less expensive to deploy, compared to many other web publishing systems you may have heard about such as Vignette, Ektron or TeamSpace. There are no licensing fees and therefore Plone provides a much lower cost of entry.

Plone is easy to use

And what’s best about it is that everyone - from secretaries, to department heads, to mayors - can simply login and hit the edit button to make an update to their web site. It's really easy to use.
