WebSG

WebSG is a self-service website builder for Singapore government agencies creating and publishing public-facing information sites without technical teams. Its visual editor is intended for sites such as campaigns and resource hubs and does not require design or coding skills. Agencies can upload CSV files to create searchable, filterable directory pages for material such as courses, events, or news archives. WebSG manages infrastructure and hosting, security controls, automated updates, and platform deployments. Agencies remain responsible for managing site access, domain and DNS settings, enabling DNSSEC on their DNS servers, and registering their sites with Whole-of-Government Application Analytics. Access is limited to Public Officers with a valid WOGAD or TechPass account. Trial sites can be created instantly and last 90 days. The platform is approved for Official (Closed) and Sensitive (Normal) data; WebSG states that it is fully IM8 compliant and adheres to Digital Service Standards. It runs on the web, and editing is best suited to a modern desktop browser; mobile devices are not supported for site editing. WebSG does not support transactional services such as payments, complex logic, or custom API integrations. A free start is listed at free; paid plan details are available by contact.
