Products
Open source first. Licensed when your RFP asks for it.
Most of what we make is open source, so you can run it yourself or hire anyone to. One product, LFW Site Access, is licensed, for solicitations that ask for a license to a named product.
Open source, public today.
On GitHub, each with its license. The example sites and their WordPress distributions join them as each one is finished.

Built and tested, public as each is released
Event calendars, approvals, site search, translation, forms, bid postings and audit logs are what governments pay large platforms for. Here each one is a free plugin; translation, tags and analytics connect to hosted LFW services.
- LFW Events Calendar Events with an upcoming list, a month grid and a calendar feed residents can subscribe to, with no JavaScript.
- LFW Editorial Workflow A change to a live page is previewed, approved and then sent live, with a record of every decision.
- LFW Private Media Keeps chosen files out of the public media list, site search and attachment pages for anyone who cannot upload.
- LFW Multilingual Serves translated pages from your own database, and they keep serving if LFW is unreachable.
- LFW Activity Logger A record of who signed in and who changed what, chained so an edited or deleted entry shows.
