What it Takes to Build Resilient Government Websites

Government websites have become essential service delivery platforms, but many agencies still rely on outdated infrastructure, workflows and governance models that limit their ability to respond to changing demands. As residents increasingly expect fast, seamless digital experiences — and as AI reshapes how people access information — resilience has become a strategic imperative.

This paper explores how state and local governments can build more resilient websites through modern WebOps platforms, streamlined governance, stronger content management practices and a commitment to accessibility. It outlines practical strategies for ensuring critical information remains secure, accurate and available when residents need it most, helping agencies strengthen service delivery, public trust and operational readiness.
