Government website creation

The public sector

An official website is not a website like any other

Informing every citizen, holding up on announcement days, resisting attacks, surviving team changes: a government website carries demands no business website has. This offer is built for them.

Public trust plays out online

Citizens check information at the source. An official website that is absent, outdated or hacked leaves room for rumors.

A prime target

Public websites are among the most attacked: defacement, fake content, downtime. Security is not optional here.

Decisive audience peaks

Exam and competition results, alerts, official announcements: the website has to hold precisely when everyone clicks.

Accessible to every citizen

Slow connections, limited data plans, small screens: public information has to load fast, everywhere, for everyone.

Continuity, despite the changes

Teams move on, providers disappear. The official website, however, has to stay online, up to date and in good hands.

The citizens' languages

Official information must be readable in the languages citizens speak, and sometimes in English for international partners.

You already have a website

We take over your website and your publications

Many institutions already have a website, often aging, not updated for years or fragile. We study your existing setup and we organize the migration to your new official website, with no downtime and without losing what has been published.

Your official content and documents migrated into the new website
Your addresses (URLs) kept or properly redirected
Your Google rankings preserved during the switchover
Migration organized with no interruption of service

Simple

How it works, in 3 steps

1. You tell us about your institution

Missions, services, publications, languages, existing website: one conversation is enough to scope your project and your subscription.

2. We create, your departments approve

We build the official layout, we migrate your existing content and your institution approves before going live.

3. You send, we publish

As your news unfolds, you send us statements and documents, and we put them online. The website runs, we take care of it.

Government website creation: a managed official website

Ministries and state secretariats, institutions, agencies and public bodies, regions and municipalities, public programs and projects: the first reflex of a citizen, an investor or a partner looking for official information is now to look for it online. Yet running a government website is a demanding technical trade: publishing official information, holding the load on announcement days, resisting attacks, staying accessible to everyone. Serenity for Governments, the public sector offer of Serenity by Simafri, takes all of that on: a website creation, maintenance and management offer designed for institutions, where your teams decide and we take care of everything else.

An official website is public infrastructure, not a brochure

Too many public websites are created during a project, then abandoned: the provider leaves, the trained officer changes positions, and the website displays news that is several years old. To a citizen, an abandoned official website looks like an abandoned administration. Our role is exactly the opposite: to be your institution's technical ally, continuously. The website is created, hosted, secured, maintained and improved over the long run by the same team, the one that publishes your statements.

Publishing official information, simply

The heart of the offer is the publication of your content by our team. Your departments send us the statement, the notice or the document, as they would send an email, and we put it online: text, attachments, section, formatting. The approval workflow and the deadlines are defined together at the start, so that publishing respects your internal procedures without weighing them down.

Security and availability first

A public website is judged on the decisive days: exam and competition results, alerts, national announcements. Every website is served by a global content delivery network (CDN) with very fast pages and an architecture built to absorb traffic peaks. Security follows the same standard: SSL certificate, reduced attack surface, protection against defacement, permanent backup and continuous monitoring by our team.

Found by citizens: Google and artificial intelligence

Every page is built following search engine optimization (SEO) best practices: clear structure, optimized titles, structured data, a fast website. Your procedures and services are thus easy to find on Google. We add the official information and the structured data that help artificial intelligence represent your institution accurately: when a citizen asks an AI about a procedure, the answer should rest on the official source.

Yes. We study your existing website, your content and your documents, then we organize the migration to the new website: content migrated, addresses kept or properly redirected, with no interruption of service.

Can the website be multilingual?

Yes. Official information must be readable in the languages citizens speak: the website can be published in several languages. Tell us about your language needs from the scoping stage.

Will the website hold up under a traffic peak?

The website is served by a global content delivery network (CDN) with very fast pages: an architecture sized for the decisive days, exam and competition results, alerts or official announcements, when everyone clicks at the same time.

How is the website protected against hacking?

Secure hosting, SSL certificate (https), an architecture that drastically reduces the attack surface, protection against defacement and permanent backup. Security is monitored continuously by our team, not installed once and then forgotten.

Does the website belong to the institution?
