GovernDocs is a WordPress document governance plugin for managing Policies, Meetings, Reports, Ordinances, and Resolutions in a structured way.
It gives organisations a central place to store official documents, organise their metadata, maintain relationships between documents, and publish them on the front end without relying on scattered media uploads or manually maintained pages.
Why use GovernDocs?
Municipalities and other organisations need a simple and consistent way to manage important documents and make them accessible to staff, stakeholders, and the public.
GovernDocs replaces ad hoc document pages with dedicated content types and structured fields.
- Keep governance documents organised in one place
- Manage different document types separately
- Store document files alongside structured details
- Link related documents, such as ordinances and resolutions to council meetings
- Publish documents consistently across your website
- Make governance information easier for the public to find
How GovernDocs works
The plugin adds dedicated areas inside the WordPress admin for each document type. Each area includes purpose-built fields so information can be entered consistently and displayed clearly.
- Policies for governance documents, procedures, rules, and official policies
- Meetings for council and committee meetings, agendas, minutes, and meeting details
- Reports for annual, financial, strategic, compliance, performance, and other official reports
- Ordinances for local laws, regulations, and amendments
- Resolutions for formal decisions, actions, and declarations adopted by a governing body
Ordinances and resolutions can be linked to the meetings where they were considered or adopted, allowing related information to be connected rather than duplicated.
