LocalGov Drupal Microsites provides a single platform - just one Drupal site - for Local Authorities to quickly deploy multiple websites on different domains with highly flexible design while maintaining control over other aspects such as accessibility, updates etc.

This is based around each website being a Group. The Microsites platform was originally built on an upgrade of the Domain Group module. It has since been rebuilt to use the Group module maintainer's own new module Group Sites.

This session will introduce the LocalGov Microsites Plaform. Why it was built. What the requirements are. And the decisions made to deliver this functionality. Explaining the move from Domain Group to Group Sites, it will also outline how you could use Group Sites for your own Microsites platform.
