Features

Jolojo for Councils is a suite of tools built on Jolojo CMS which is a super modern, up to date, highly secure web site content management system (CMS).

With the help of Councils and our experience with working with them, we have built tailored additional functionality specifically for Councils and the community which they serve. We empower you to publish what you need to and what you want to with minimal complication and maximum ease of use.

Below is a list of in-built functionality to make your life easier. Don't worry if you don't understand it all (or any of it), we will get you up and running quickly and most of the below you won't need to worry about. We also have a list of plugins available.
