WebSG
What it is
WebSG is a self-service website builder for government agencies creating and publishing public-facing information sites such as campaigns and resource hubs. Its visual editor is designed for use without coding or design skills. Agencies can upload CSV files to produce searchable, filterable directory pages for material such as courses, events or news archives. WebSG manages infrastructure and hosting, security controls, automated updates and platform deployments. Agencies still manage site access, domain and DNS settings, enable DNSSEC on their DNS servers and register sites with Whole-of-Government Application Analytics. Access is limited to Public Officers with a valid WOGAD or TechPass account. Trial sites can be created instantly and remain valid for 90 days. The platform is approved for Official (Closed) and Sensitive (Normal) data; WebSG states that it is fully IM8 compliant and follows Digital Service Standards. Editing is intended for a modern desktop browser such as Chrome or Edge, and mobile site editing is unsupported. Pricing is on request, with a 90-day trial; the Free start plan is free, with paid plans for advanced features and high-traffic needs.
