This is an example of starting with our templated homepage and then simplifying it by removing widgets (also called modules) from the page.
In this example we have left in just the most basic things a Town or Parish may want on their home page.

Some Parish and Town Councils have minutes and agendas dating back decades. To ensure transparency and provide the public with access to as much detail as possible—without burdening councils with significant costs—we’ve introduced our Archive widget.
