How do you connect constituents to government services in a seamless, positive experience?

GovHub is an award-winning Drupal-based platform managed by GTA’s Digital Services and Solutions team. GovHub was developed 12+ years ago to meet the dynamic needs of Georgia’s state agencies. Currently hosting more than 80 state agency websites, GovHub continues to evolve to offer leading-edge capabilities and take the guesswork out of mandates and best practices in digital content.

Easy Content Management

State agency websites don’t always have enough hands to manage content. We make it simple with elements designed just for you, like:

  • Landing page drag-and-drop interface
  • Pre-designed visual elements 
  • Structured content fields built specifically for your content
  • WYSIWYG editing and the ability to reuse existing content
  • No coding expertise required

With GovHub, you can also save time updating your information across Georgia’s infrastructure. Data points such as contact info and locations are automatically shared with Georgia.gov for immediate delivery.

Built-in Compliance and Best Practices

Automatically meet Georgia’s state mandates for accessibility, as GovHub is WCAG 2.1 AA- compliant.

GovHub also offers built-in assurance that your digital presence is designed to be at the top of its game, with:

  • Responsive design for desktop and mobile devices
  • Government-specific content types, such as “How Do I?” templates, bios, news, and events
  • Search-friendly data
  • Designed for faster page loading and better site performance

Need extra governance? GovHub offers additional content moderation for optional reviews before content goes live.

Always Innovative

We work with industry-leading, private-sector development partners to offer the latest advancements in our platform and tools.

Our technology practices for GovHub include:

  • 2-week sprint cycles for infrastructure, new features, and bugs
  • Release notes for every sprint
  • Off-cycle code deployments for security enhancements, if needed

Our design, regularly vetted by testing audiences, offers high usability and enterprise design consistency. This extra step saves agencies the expense of hiring additional UX, design, or technical resources.
