What is My Council Framework?
Purpose-built for parish & town councils
My Council Framework (MCF) is a complete website and management platform designed from the ground up for the needs of parish and town councils across England and Wales.
Custom-built from the ground up specifically for councils — not WordPress or an off-the-shelf CMS bent to fit. This is core Council Framework: it understands council life, statutory publishing and community engagement, configured and ready on day one.
- No technical expertise required
- Purpose-built for council life — not bent to fit
- Optional bilingual support for English and Welsh
- Fully accessible — WCAG 2.2 Level AA
What's included
Everything your council needs
Modules that work together to give your council a professional online presence and powerful day-to-day management tools.
Council governance
Councillor profiles, meeting schedules, minutes, policies and reports & audits — full transparency, simply maintained.
Drag-and-drop page builder
Build pages from ready-made blocks, with per-page themes and menus, a media library and a menu builder — no code, no fuss.
Community engagement
Resident issue reporting with map & status tracking, venue bookings & event ticketing, surveys, grant schemes and interactive maps.
Communications
Contact-form management, email newsletters and subscriber lists, plus CHIP — an AI chatbot that answers residents from your own site content.

Made in Britain, for British councils
Built for communities across England and Wales
From village greens to market towns — a platform that understands the rhythm of local council life.
Accessibility isn't an afterthought
The admin checks your choices meet WCAG 2.2 AA — as you make them
Most platforms leave accessibility to chance. MCF builds it into the admin itself, so you can't accidentally publish something residents can't use.
- Live colour-contrast checking as you pick colours (WCAG 2.2 AA)
- 25 pre-validated accessible themes
- A front-of-site accessibility toolbar for residents
- An auto-generated accessibility statement
Built to last
Quality and security you can rely on
Custom-built from the ground up specifically for councils — not WordPress or an off-the-shelf CMS bent to fit — and held to a high bar at every release.
Rigorously tested
A large automated test suite — over 2,500 tests — runs on every change, so updates ship with confidence and nothing breaks quietly.
Independently scanned
Automated security analysis (SAST) on every release, plus independent external OWASP security scans — your residents' trust matters.
Accessibility-audited
Every release is accessibility-audited against WCAG 2.2 AA, so compliance is proven — not assumed.
