★★★★★Trusted by 60+ public sector & enterprise clients
From accessible multilingual content to e-payment integration — what shapes the scope and cost of a public sector website in Ghana.
A government website in Ghana is judged on three things: accessibility for every citizen regardless of device or disability, trustworthy and easily updatable content for non-technical communications staff, and secure integration with national e-service infrastructure such as Ghana.GOV for fee payments and GhanaPost GPS for digital addressing. Building this correctly requires custom software development on top of a hardened, role-based CMS rather than a generic template builder.
Accessibility and multilingual support are the most underestimated cost drivers. Meeting WCAG 2.1 AA requires semantic markup, keyboard navigation, screen-reader testing, and colour-contrast auditing across every page template — not just the homepage. Multilingual content management (English plus relevant local languages) requires a CMS architecture that lets editors manage translated content independently without duplicating page structures. Integration with the Data Protection Act (Act 843) is mandatory wherever a contact, complaint, or service-request form collects citizen personal data.

I would never describe Them as a web agency. They are a brilliant team of designers and mobile app developers, but also offer real marketing consultancy, meaning they have everything I need to bring my ideas to reality.
