Websites by Active Council

Why use Active Council websites?


Active Council websites are powered by our proprietary Web Communication System (WCS), developed exclusively by WJP Software Limited. WCS is designed to simplify clerks' responsibilities with efficient document management and intuitive content tools, ensuring full compliance with W3C WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards and government regulations.

Our platform is fully responsive, offering seamless functionality across all devices—PCs, laptops, tablets, and mobiles. Compliance and accessibility come standard, with an accessibility statement included to reflect these features.

Additionally, our knowledgeable support team understands council needs, providing practical assistance and best-practice advice. We also conduct annual Cyber Essentials and ISO audits, demonstrating our commitment to data security.
