HHSK & HHR
The management of water systems and monitoring the safety of residents against flooding in The Netherlands is largely entrusted to water authorities. With committed and expert people, local and regional water authorities ensure safe dikes and sufficient clean water.

Two websites, one tender
For both water authorities, the corporate website provides external information and news and is the gateway to digital services. The reach and use of the websites is large, so it is important that they work well and can be properly managed and maintained.
We deliver a future-proof website, including hosting and support, including the necessary links with other applications for Rijnland and Schieland and the Krimpenerwaard.
Result
The tender concerns Implementation, Hosting & Support of a CMS Internet system for HHR and HHSK. For this we used Wagtail, with which we could easily implement links and the two different designs.
Technique used
We were able to export the current data from Plone and easily read it into the Wagtail websites via an import script. The Wagtail CMS makes it very easy for HHSK & HHR to manage content and they both have quite a few pages with a lot of text and images.
Cooperation
The deadline was clear, the new websites had to be live by June 1, 2021 at the latest. The start was March 5, 2021 so we had a short lead time. The deadline was met by Four Digits by prioritizing together with HHSK & HHR in order to secure the go-live. The design of HHR was not yet final and from HHSK it was available in the second week.

The two water authorities were linked separately. Both received their own course and had their own content needs. We combined all this into one project. Various overarching links such as vacancies, authentication and external APIs have been realized.
