Modernisation without unnecessary reinvention.
Improve what doesn't.
Move faster towards a reliable platform.
Many rebuilds begin with a blank page, even when the existing platform contains years of valuable content, structure, functionality and organisational knowledge. The result is lengthy discovery, repeated decisions and significant migration cost before anything delivers value.
Doghouse takes a more practical approach. We begin by understanding your existing website: its content, information architecture, functionality, integrations, design patterns, URLs and editorial requirements.
We then use structured analysis, automation and model-assisted processes to accelerate the repeatable work, while our experienced team focuses on the improvements, quality and decisions that require expertise.
Three connected capabilities.
Each works on its own. Together they cover assessment, design, migration, hosting, security and continuous improvement.
Ship fast. Design as deep as you need.
GovTheme gives you an accessible, component-complete starting point.
How far you take the design is your call.
GovTheme is a templating engine in the best sense: accessibility built in, with a comprehensive library of components, layouts and patterns out of the box. Bootstrap a compliant website and launch in weeks, not months.
Design and research still happen, at the depth that suits your project. Some teams brand GovTheme and launch. Others invest in user research, stakeholder discovery and bespoke UX. Much of the groundwork can now be automated, leaving our designers and researchers to focus where they add the most value.
One partner, from assessment to ongoing operation.
More than a traditional CMS migration.
Depending on the environment and your priorities, Doghouse can assist across the full breadth of a platform program.
