LocalGov Drupal provides a solid foundation for building and customising local government websites. It offers various pre-configured features and functionalities, as well as a wide range of modules and themes available in the Drupal community, allowing agencies to tailor their sites to meet specific requirements.

LocalGov Drupal, like Drupal itself, is open-source software, which means it is free to use, modify, and distribute. This can result in cost savings for local government agencies compared to proprietary CMS solutions.

Drupal is known for its powerful content management capabilities. LocalGov Drupal inherits these features, allowing non-technical staff to easily manage and update website content, including news, events, documents, and multimedia.

LocalGov Drupal follows accessibility best practices, making it easier for local government websites to comply with web accessibility standards and provide inclusive experiences for all users.

LocalGov Drupal websites can be designed to be responsive, meaning they adapt to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring a consistent user experience across desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Drupal, including LocalGov Drupal, has a dedicated security team that actively works to identify and address vulnerabilities. Regular updates and security patches are released, helping to ensure the safety of the websites built on the platform.

LocalGov Drupal can be integrated with other systems commonly used in local government operations, such as CRM tools, GIS software, and other government databases, streamlining data management and improving operational efficiency.

Drupal, including LocalGov Drupal, is capable of handling websites with large amounts of content and traffic, making it suitable for both small towns and large metropolitan areas.

Drupal has a large and active community of developers and users who contribute to the software's improvement and provide support through forums, documentation, and other resources.

LocalGov Drupal offers built-in support for multilingual websites, allowing local governments to provide content in multiple languages and better serve diverse communities.
