Every council gets its own public website, a shared administration back office, and one citizen portal for the whole country. Bilingual from the ground up, with Dhivehi treated as a first language rather than a translation.
A council website for the public, a back office for staff, and one citizen portal shared across every council in the country.
A fast, search-friendly site for your island. Announcements, the service directory, tenders, council meetings and decisions, a media centre and an interactive island map — all editable by your own staff, no developer needed.
One back office for the whole council. Publish content, work through citizen applications, run the finance module, assign tasks and manage who can do what.
Citizens sign in once and deal with any council from the same place. Apply for services, follow progress with a tracking reference, keep documents on file and pay fees.
Built from how island councils actually work — not a generic content system with council labels applied.
Publish an announcement and attach a form to it. Submissions arrive in the back office with a reference the citizen can quote.
Publish every service with prerequisites and downloadable forms. Some are submitted online, some are printed and brought in — both are handled.
Publish tenders and quotation requests, take registrations online, and keep submissions against the tender they belong to.
Members, terms, staff, meeting records and published decisions — the things residents ask for and councils spend time re-sending.
Budget planning, income, payables, a ledger, approvals, vendors and payment batches, with vouchers generated from the record.
Budget and spending summarised for residents, aggregated in the database rather than assembled in the browser, so it stays fast as records grow.
News, press releases, reports, photo galleries, rules and the land use plan, each with its own page and permanent link.
An interactive map of the island with points of interest your staff maintain.
Thaana typography, right-to-left layout and per-language fonts throughout — not an afterthought bolted onto an English design.
This holds citizen applications, identity documents and council finances. The separation between councils is enforced by the database, not by trusting the application to remember.
Separation is enforced in the database itself with row-level security, not in application code. Standing audits check every table and policy, and a change that would weaken isolation fails before it can be applied.
Each council is deployed separately with its own address and its own traffic. One council's busy day does not slow another's.
Every council site ships a sitemap, canonical URLs and structured data, so residents searching for your council actually find it.
Listed separately from the features above, because none of this has shipped yet.
Sign in with the national digital identity. Because the citizen portal is shared, this is one integration for the whole country rather than one per council.
One app for every council on iOS and Android, built on the same portal citizens already use.
Tell people when their application moves, instead of making them check.
Councils switch on the modules they need and leave the rest off, so a small island is not handed the same screen as a large one.
The platform is already built — setting up a council is configuration, not development. The work that takes time is yours: deciding which services to publish and getting the content ready.
We'll walk you through it with your own island's content, so you can see what it looks like before deciding anything.
