We understand the compliance requirements, procurement constraints, and public accountability that come with building digital infrastructure for government.

What We Deliver

Section 508 and WCAG AA accessibility compliance, built in from the design phase and validated before launch.
Secure, .NET-native architecture that meets government security standards and supports regular auditing.
High-availability infrastructure on Azure and AWS, proven under extreme traffic conditions including emergency response scenarios.
Content management designed for non-technical editors, so your team can publish and update information without IT involvement.
Multilingual site support for organizations serving diverse populations, with bilingual content and localization workflows.

Why Umbraco for Government?

  • Umbraco is open source and free to use, which simplifies procurement and removes ongoing license cost concerns.
  • Built on .NET, it integrates cleanly with existing government technology stacks, Azure DevOps pipelines, and enterprise identity systems.
  • The platform gives content administrators full control over their site without requiring developer involvement for routine updates.
  • Its flexible architecture handles complex organizational structures, multi-site deployments, and document-heavy content models common in government.

"USDA’s Agricultural Research Service entered into a contract with ProWorks to build a website that would highlight our valuable, impactful work. The staff at ProWorks set out a clear vision and schedule for the project, and met all set deadlines. The ProWorks team were courteous, they listened to our concerns and suggestions, and they implemented our recommendations. They also provided valuable insight and expertise. In the end, ProWorks delivered an engaging, dynamic, attractive, and user-friendly website."

Proven at Emergency Scale

CAL FIRE needed a modern, accessible platform to support critical public communications across multiple agency websites, including during active wildfire emergencies when public access is most critical.

Key Results:

  • Handled up to 173 million requests per day and sustained 8,000 requests per second during peak wildfire season
  • Achieved approximately 600% increase in web traffic post-launch
  • Zero unplanned site outages during major fire incidents

Accessibility and Compliance You Can Rely On

Government sites carry a legal obligation to serve all users, including those with disabilities. We treat accessibility as a design requirement, not an afterthought.

From UPMC Health Plan's bilingual, WCAG AA-compliant Medicaid platform to Credit Union 1's Section 508 redesign, we have a track record of delivering sites that pass formal accessibility audits and hold up to real-world use.
