Engagement & communications
Website / CMS
Build the whole site by dragging blocks — and own the domain it lives on.
Compose pages by dragging content blocks into place — heroes, galleries, cards, stats, accordions, maps, document lists, and live feeds from your other modules — then set the colors, fonts, and logo in a theme studio and arrange the menus in a nav builder. Point your own domain at it, sign in with Google or Microsoft, and publish a fast, accessible, bilingual site without waiting on a vendor.
The challenge
Most government websites are a decade of PDFs stacked on an org chart, behind a CMS where changing a layout means a support ticket and a wait. The 'Translate' button mangles the Spanish, the design is whatever the vendor shipped in 2014, and the site fails the accessibility audit nobody scheduled.
In practice
A new page, built and live before lunch
A hurricane is three days out, and the county needs a storm-prep page now. The communications coordinator opens the builder and drags blocks into place: a hero with the alert, a card grid linking to shelters and sandbag sites, a map block, a document list for the evacuation guide, and a feed block pulling the latest emergency posts automatically. She writes each block in English and Spanish, and the page inherits the county's colors, fonts, and logo from the theme studio without touching design. She adds it to the primary menu in the nav builder and publishes — on the county's own domain, the one residents already know.
Meanwhile, a resident searches "burn permit" on her phone, in Spanish. Site search takes her to the Spanish page, which explains the rule in plain language and ends with a bilingual form — not a scanned PDF. She submits it in two minutes from the parking lot of the feed store.
What it does
- 01
Drag-and-drop block builder
Build pages from a library of content blocks — hero, rich text, image, gallery, video, columns, cards, accordion, stats, quote, CTA, map, and more — arranged by dragging, no code.
- 02
Live module feeds on the page
Drop in a feed block and a page shows your latest news, agendas, projects, job postings, events, 311 activity, or directory — pulled live from the modules you run.
- 03
Theme studio
Set your palette, fonts, logo, favicon, and header and footer in one place — every page inherits the look, with a custom-CSS escape hatch when you need it.
- 04
Navigation builder
Arrange primary, footer, and utility menus with nested items and bilingual labels, or let published pages populate the nav on their own.
- 05
Bring your own domain
Point your government's own domain at the site with a guided DNS verification — residents stay on the address they already know.
- 06
Google & Microsoft sign-in
Staff sign in with your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 accounts, with IT-controlled multi-factor authentication enforced per tenant.
- 07
Bilingual pages and forms
Edit the English and Spanish of every page and form together, so the two never drift — and replace PDFs with real online forms.
- 08
Accessibility and search built in
WCAG practices live in the components, and site-wide search in English and Spanish is tuned for the words residents actually type.
How it works
Set the theme
Drop in your colors, fonts, and logo in the theme studio once; every page you build inherits the look.
Build pages from blocks
Drag blocks into place, write each in English and Spanish, and pull in live feeds from your other modules — no ticket to IT.
Arrange the navigation
Order your menus in the nav builder with nested, bilingual items, and connect your own domain.
Publish and keep it current
Sign in with Google or Microsoft, publish on your own domain, and let department staff update their own pages.
English and Spanish
Bilingual by design
Every public page, form, search result, news post, and calendar entry exists in English and Spanish — human-written, never machine-translated. Visitors switch languages anywhere on the site and stay on the same page.
Premium AI add-on
CiVQ AI: a first draft for every page, in both languages
Give CiVQ AI the facts and it drafts the page or news post in English and Spanish, in plain language, for your editors to refine. As they work, it flags accessibility issues — missing alt text, low contrast, headings out of order — before the page publishes, not at audit time.
