A drupal multisite-environment for local governments

Drupal offers great possibilities to create a multi-site environment. The project 'DRK – Digitale Regio Kortrijk' from Leiedal uses Drupal as a platform to run 12 municipality websites and many other local government websites. In total, 45 websites share the same Drupal platform. The city of Kortrijk has the largest website, www.kortrijk.be, with over 500.000 unique visitors and almost 4 million pageviews per year.

In this session, the following love will be shared:

Why we choose Drupal
How we built the sites for the visitors, not for the municipalities
How to use Drupal in a multi-site environment
The services (product) catalogue as engine for local government information
