The Cayman Islands Government has launched a public beta version of its new gov.ky website, designed to enhance its digital presence and improve access to information.
The project to update the platform was prompted by the end-of-life status of the current content management system, according to a 9 May press release.
The beta version includes a limited number of pages focused on the recent transition of government, such as the Office of the Premier page.
An updated Cabinet page and organisational chart, as well as new ministerial landing pages will be introduced in the coming days.
The aim is to help the public get to know the new administration, understand its priorities and follow the work of ministries and portfolios, the press release said.
It will eventually feature better navigation, improved search functionality, and the ability for government entities to deliver content tailored to the needs of their audiences.
“This is more than a technical upgrade, it is a chance to improve how people access trusted information, connect with public services, and engage with government priorities,” said communications director Oneisha Richards.
“The next few months will focus on laying the groundwork for the future as we continue the search for the optimal, best-in-class solution for CIG.
“We are taking a thoughtful, phased approach prioritising stability, accessibility and usability while inviting our stakeholders and the public to play an active role in shaping what comes next.”
To ensure continuity of service, the website will continue to be maintained on the current Oracle Content Management System this year while content and functionality are progressively transitioned to the new platform.
In 2026, the focus will shift to enhancing features, with additional capabilities rolled out in phases to further improve usability and accessibility, the press release said.
Members of the public can visit gov.ky/beta to preview the site and provide feedback.
