A Government CMS That Works Like a Modern Product · Because It Is One
Built from scratch for the demands of government web publishing. Events, forms, public notices, document centers, and citizen self-service — accessible by default, compliant by design.
Every Department Publishes. No One Steps on Each Other's Toes.
The old way: one IT department owns the website, every update is a ticket, and content stays stale for months while department staff wait for someone with access to make a change. The result is a government website citizens can't trust and staff can't maintain.
WPPersona gives every department their own publishing workspace · with full content control and zero ability to touch another department's pages, break the site theme, or publish without proper review. IT sets the rules once. Departments run themselves.
Role-based access control
Editor, approver, and admin roles scoped per department · no cross-contamination.
Approval workflows
Sensitive content routes to a designated reviewer before it ever goes live.
Brand guardrails
Editors work within approved colors, fonts, and layouts · no off-brand surprises.
Content scheduling
Publish or expire content on a specific date and time, automatically.
Audit trail
Every change is logged with who made it and when · ready for records requests.

Fewer Phone Calls. More Served.
When citizens can find answers, submit requests, and complete forms without calling your office, staff spend time on work that actually requires a human. WPPersona ships the tools to make self-service real — not just a contact form that routes to a shared inbox.
Online Permit & License Applications
Building permits, business licenses, park reservations — accessible forms citizens can complete without a phone call or office visit.
311 Service Requests
Pothole, streetlight, graffiti, and general service requests routed directly to the right department — with submission confirmation for the citizen.
Email & SMS Notification Subscriptions
Citizens subscribe to alerts for their neighborhood, department, or topic. Meetings, road closures, and emergencies delivered instantly.
Multi-Language Self-Service
100+ languages available on every form and service page. Lang attributes set correctly — assistive technology reads the right language.
Staff & Elected Official Directory
Accessible contact cards with keyboard navigation, proper heading hierarchy, and descriptive link text. Citizens find the right person fast.
Service Finder
Citizens answer "What do you need?" and are routed to the right page, form, or department — reducing inbound calls and email.
Meet Your Public Records and Transparency Obligations
Sunshine laws, open records requirements, and public meeting obligations aren't optional · they're law. WPPersona makes compliance straightforward with purpose-built modules for every transparency requirement government websites face.
Budget & Financial Documents
Annual budgets, audit reports, and financial statements published in a searchable, accessible document center. Every PDF scanned for accessibility before publishing.
Open Records / FOIA Request Form

Meeting Minutes & Agendas Archive
Full archive of past meeting agendas and approved minutes. Searchable, tagged by body and date, accessible to screen readers.

Active procurements listed with deadline, contact, and document download. Automatic archival when the bid closes.
Capital Projects & CIP Tracker
Public-facing capital improvement project status pages. Citizens see project phases, budgets, and updates without calling Public Works.

Video & Meeting Recording Embeds
Embed council meeting recordings with accessible captions. Closed caption file upload required before publish.
Compliance Built Into Every Keystroke
Accessibility audits happen after the fact · after a document has been live for months, after a complaint has been filed, after it's already a liability. WPPersona moves the enforcement earlier, directly into the editorial interface where content is created.
These aren't post-publish suggestions. They are pre-publish gates. Content that fails an accessibility check cannot go live until the issue is resolved · by the editor who created it, with plain-language guidance about exactly what to fix.
Alt text enforcement gate
No image can be published without an alt text field completed · hard stop, not a suggestion.
Heading structure validator
Flags out-of-order heading levels before publish so H3 never appears before H2.
Color contrast checker
Built into every color picker in the editor · fail states shown in real time.
Link text quality check
Warns editors when link text is "click here", "read more", or other non-descriptive phrases.
PDF risk badge
Every uploaded document receives a compliance score · visible throughout the workflow.
Form accessibility validator
Every form field must have a label, error message, and correct input type before the form can go live.
Government-Grade Infrastructure
Performance and reliability that meets the standards your constituents · and your IT policy · expect.
