MyCouncilThe digital platform for Maldivian island councils
Every council gets its own public website, a shared administration back office, and a dedicated citizen portal for their residents. Bilingual from the ground up, with Dhivehi treated as a first language rather than a translation.

Three surfaces, one system
A council website for the public, a back office for staff, and a dedicated citizen portal for your residents.
Council website
A fast, search-friendly site for your island. Announcements, the service directory, tenders, council meetings and decisions, a media centre and an interactive island map — all editable by your own staff, no developer needed.
- Server-rendered, so search engines index every page
- Your council's name, colours, logo and contact details
- Works on the phones people actually own
Administration portal
One back office for the whole council. Publish content, work through citizen applications, run the finance module, assign tasks and manage who can do what.
- Applications with status, notes and a full history
- Budget, ledger, vouchers, vendors and payment batches
- Roles and permissions, scoped to your council alone
Citizen portal
A dedicated portal for your residents to deal with the council online. Apply for services, follow progress with a tracking reference, keep documents on file and pay fees.
- A dedicated portal for your residents
- Tracking reference on every submission
- Documents stored privately, never in a public bucket
Everything a council publishes, in one place
Built from how island councils actually work — not a generic content system with council labels applied.
Announcements with forms
Publish an announcement and attach a form to it. Submissions arrive in the back office with a reference the citizen can quote.
Service directory
Publish every service with prerequisites and downloadable forms. Some are submitted online, some are printed and brought in — both are handled.
Procurement and RFQs
Publish tenders and quotation requests, take registrations online, and keep submissions against the tender they belong to.
Council transparency
Members, terms, staff, meeting records and published decisions — the things residents ask for and councils spend time re-sending.
Finance module
Budget planning, income, payables, a ledger, approvals, vendors and payment batches, with vouchers generated from the record.
Public dashboards
Budget and spending summarised for residents, aggregated in the database rather than assembled in the browser, so it stays fast as records grow.
Media centre
News, press releases, reports, photo galleries, rules and the land use plan, each with its own page and permanent link.
Island map
An interactive map of the island with points of interest your staff maintain.
Drafts & Automated Templates
Automated template-based document processing and drafting. Save countless hours by generating official documents instantly.
Dhivehi first
Thaana typography, right-to-left layout and per-language fonts throughout — not an afterthought bolted onto an English design.
eFaas sign-in
Sign in with the national digital identity. We handle the integration so your residents can securely access your council's services instantly.
Notifications
Tell people when their application moves, instead of making them check.
Built for public records
This holds citizen applications, identity documents and council finances. The separation between councils is enforced by the database, not by trusting the application to remember.
Councils cannot see each other's data
Separation is enforced in the PostgreSQL database itself using Row-Level Security (RLS), not in application code. Standing audits check every table and policy, and a change that would weaken isolation fails before it can be applied.
Your own website, your own domain
Each council is deployed separately with its own address and its own traffic. One council's busy day does not slow another's.
Findable
Every council site ships a sitemap, canonical URLs and structured data, so residents searching for your council actually find it.
What we're building
Listed separately from the features above, because none of this has shipped yet.
MyCouncil mobile app
PlannedOne app for every council on iOS and Android, built on the same portal citizens already use.
Per-council features
PlannedCouncils switch on the modules they need and leave the rest off, so a small island is not handed the same screen as a large one.
Before you ask
The platform is already built — setting up a council is configuration, not development. The work that takes time is yours: deciding which services to publish and getting the content ready.
Put your council online properly
We'll walk you through it with your own island's content, so you can see what it looks like before deciding anything.
