A public sector group can run dozens of websites: one for each agency, and more for programmes, campaigns, and events. Most were built at different times by different teams, and each runs on its own system.
That has a cost. Security fixes reach some sites before others. Designs drift apart, so people moving between agencies meet a different layout on every site. Each new site means a new build and one more system to keep patched.
One studio for every agency
In Visor, each agency site has its own record in Studio. The record holds the site's web addresses, its theme, and the content its editors can use. Editors switch between the sites they are allowed to work on, and permissions keep each team inside its own sites.
Each site can have its own approval workflow. One agency can send every page to a manager, and another can add a legal review for certain kinds of content.
Build once, reuse across the group
Developers build layouts and widgets once, and every agency site uses the same parts. Each site loads its own theme, so sites can share every component and still look different. A fix to a shared widget reaches every site that uses it, and a new site can be cloned from an existing one.
Ready for busy days
Some announcements send large numbers of people to the same few pages within hours. Visor builds these sites as static pages and serves them from 200+ edge locations, so a surge of visitors meets pages that are already built. When editors publish an update, it goes through approval and the site rebuilds automatically.
The same protection on every site
Every site sits behind the same DDoS protection, web application firewall, and network firewalls, with traffic encrypted end to end. Vulnerability scans and penetration tests run before launch and on a schedule after it, so every site in the group is held to the same standard.
What changes
Agencies keep their own brands, editors, and approvals. The group runs one platform underneath them, with one set of infrastructure to patch and test. A new agency site starts from a template that already works.
