GovCMS training services

Maximise your site’s potential and staff productivity through Salsa’s expert training. We’ll teach you how to build, publish and administer your Drupal or GovCMS website.

Why GovCMS?

Drupal is an award-winning, enterprise-grade content management system (CMS) that’s easy to use, stable, highly secure and open source (no license fees). For this reason it’s the preferred CMS of many governments and corporate organisations around the world, including the Australian Federal Government.

GovCMS is the government-branded Drupal CMS available to all federal, state and local government departments.
