Isomer vs Jadu Central

Isomer is a free website builder for Singapore government agencies and public healthcare institutions to create static websites without coding. Its Isomer Studio editor lets public officers build, edit, and publish pages with drag-and-drop controls. Publishing supports review requests, approvals, and release of approved changes. Agencies can select page layouts, combine components, and customize colours, logos, and favicons.

Accessibility prompts cover essential fields, while templates and components are designed to support accessible sites. SEO features include predefined headings, generated tables of contents and folder index pages, image alt text, and customizable meta descriptions. Open Government Products builds and manages Isomer. Its team handles hosting, maintenance, support, and compliance with relevant IM8 and Digital Service Standards clauses, and centrally manages security testing and audits. Isomer does not provide website design services or custom layouts. Domain costs and third-party services such as web monitoring may be extra.

Jadu Central is a low-code platform for managing websites and online forms, built for Local Government and Higher Education. Users can create forms with branching and automation rules without technical skills, then publish and manage separate microsites called Galaxies. A secure MyAccount page lets end users view progress updates and access personalised content. Jadu Central Gateway provides an intranet for large organisations to give teams, employees, and partners access to information, documents, and forms. Listed integrations include Google Maps, Google reCAPTCHA, LDAP/Active Directory, Mailchimp, Office 365 calendars, Esri mapping, and SAML identity providers. Payment adapters include GOV.UK Pay, WorldPay, TouchNet, SecurePay, and Barclaycard SmartPay. Jadu says its templates meet WCAG 2.2 AA and work on any device. The platform documents access and login controls, and says sensitive data is encrypted and passwords are hashed with BCrypt and a salt. Jadu describes Central as a cloud solution hosted on Amazon Web Services, while installation documentation covers Linux and Windows Server. Pricing is available by request.
