A internet site for local authorities

Many products have been developed under Plone to adapt a Plone Site for local authorities.

Some town have specificaly worked on a particular skin to create a "local authorities portal".  The idea is to create an installable product that will help to start directly with a more citizen oriented site.


Some freshly out sites are already using this skin.  A good point in this skin is to give a way to develop subsites by cha,ging the global banner of the site (keeping the original town logo).

The interest of using Plone for a town website is to give the possibility for users (that could be town employees or citizen) to become a site content producer instead than a "simple" internet user.


The idea of the portal is very important too : instead of dispersing local informations on several sites, keep the information on a portal website where it will be easier for citizen to find their informations.

Technicaly, here are some functionnalities :

  • a "by theme" navigation
  • the integration of some particular portlets like "banners"
  • some specific skinning that give a more "professionnal" behaviour to the site
  • a way to easily change the banner and/or css in a given folder of the site that give an impression of subsite
  • some particular portlet and image skinning (PloneGazette, ATGoogleMaps, ...)
