PortalOS
Multilingual government and institutional portals. Built white-label, deployed in days, owned by your team.
Four portal flavours. Six languages. One codebase.
What it is
Built for institutions that need more than a website
PortalOS is a white-label portal platform built for governments, legislatures, courts, and civil society organisations. It ships with four pre-built portal flavours — Parliament, Justice, Civil Society, and Policy & Governance — each with its own layout, navigation, and content structure. Switch flavours by changing a single config value.
Every deployment is fully multilingual from day one. PortalOS supports English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian out of the box, including full right-to-left layout for Arabic. Adding a new language is a configuration change, not a development project.
Portal flavours
Four portal flavours
Each flavour is a complete portal with its own layout, navigation structure, and content focus. All run on the same codebase.
Parliament
Bills tracker, member directory, committee records, plenary recordings. Built for legislatures and assemblies.
Justice
Services directory, legal aid, guidelines library, FAQ system. Built for courts, prosecution services, and legal aid bodies.
Civil Society
CSO registration, compliance tracking, programme management, team directory. Built for civil society regulators and umbrella bodies.
Policy & Governance
Policy repository, public consultations, open data portal, civic participation. Built for government ministries and agencies.
Languages
Built multilingual — not translated after the fact
Most portals add translation as an afterthought. PortalOS is architected for multilingual from the ground up. Every string, every route, every content field is locale-aware by design.
Arabic requires a full right-to-left layout — mirrored navigation, flipped components, logical CSS properties throughout. PortalOS handles this at the architecture level, not with CSS overrides.
Adding a new language is a three-step process: add the locale code to config, add a translations file, done. No code changes required.

Bespoke builds
The four flavours are the starting point
The portal flavours cover the most common institutional configurations out of the box. For organisations with requirements that go beyond the standard flavours — custom workflows, integrations with existing systems, or sector-specific content structures — we scope and build to specification.
Bespoke builds follow the same methodology: prototype first, full engagement only if the prototype delivers. The white-label architecture means custom work builds on a proven foundation rather than starting from scratch.
