Widgets for Govstack CMS

The Govstack Development team is always looking for ways to continually enhance our platform to give municipalities more powerful, flexible, and intuitive tools to serve their communities.

Introducing Widgets, our latest update to the Govstack CMS, designed to make it even easier for local governments to connect with residents, streamline services, and manage content efficiently.

Your website is more than just a digital space—it’s your community’s hub for information, services, and engagement. Now, with widgets for Govstack CMS, you can seamlessly integrate real-time data and external sources directly onto your website, making it easier than ever to keep residents informed and connected.

What are widgets?

Widgets are small but powerful tools that allow you to embed live data from trusted sources—whether it’s event listings, job postings, public service information, or real-time reports. These widgets enhance your website’s functionality without requiring complex development.
