Features
Everything a government website needs, in one platform
From a news page to the audit log: Mutamad brings together what every entity would otherwise build from scratch, configured and tested.
Arabic first
Right to left on every page, each language at its own address, and an untranslated page shown in its own language with a notice.
Government content, ready
News, events, services, publications, FAQs and leadership, in the design system's templates.
Approval workflow
An editor writes; someone else approves and publishes. No one publishes their own work.
Visual page builder
Landing pages and content templates in Canvas, from ready components in the entity's identity.
Security built in
Multi-factor sign-in, a password policy, a strict Content Security Policy and logs for the SIEM.
AI inside the Kingdom
An assistant for editors on the entity's own server: image descriptions, translation drafts and page suggestions.
Search that knows Arabic
Finds a word however it is spelled: hamza forms, taa marbuta, diacritics and Arabic-Indic digits.
e-Participation
Public consultations, page ratings and contact forms, protected against spam.
Approval workflow
Nothing goes live without approval
An editor writes; another person reviews, approves and publishes. Separation of duties is part of the platform, not a procedure left to memory.
- Three job roles with separate duties: editor, approver and site administrator
- Draft, review, publish, with scheduled publishing and unpublishing
- A record of every change: who wrote it, who approved it, and when
Page builder
Professional pages without a line of code
Editors build pages in Canvas by drag and drop, from the theme's components that follow the government design system.
- 61 components in the builder's library: cards, banners, figures and charts
- A ready template for each content type: news, event, service and publication
- Auto-save, and a preview in Arabic and English before publishing
Artificial intelligence
AI that runs on the entity's own server, inside the Kingdom
The AI suggests and a person decides: the editor reviews every suggestion, and every translation is a draft an approver publishes.
- Nothing is sent to any service but the entity's own server
- Any request containing a national ID, Iqama or payment card number is stopped
- Every request is logged, without its text, in the entity's logs
Image descriptions
Writes an image's alternative text in the page's language; the editor reviews it before saving.
Translation drafts
Translates a page into the other language as a draft, published by an approver after review.
Writing help
Spelling and grammar, summaries, rewording, and fixes for accessibility issues.
Page suggestions
A search title and description, topics and audiences, at the press of a button.
Compliance
Built on national frameworks
Mutamad's configuration follows the controls Saudi government websites are measured against, and one command checks them after every install.
Accessibility statementDigital Government Authority
The unified design system with every one of its components, the government page templates and the Digital Stamp.
National Cybersecurity Authority
The Essential Cybersecurity Controls: access, logging, hardening and secure configuration.
Personal Data Protection Law
No third-party service before the visitor agrees, and forms that keep each submission's history, seen only by those who need it.
Accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA: checks while editing, accessibility tools for visitors, and automated tests.
How to start
From install to publish in four steps
The entity's site reaches its visitors safely, without rebuilding what is already built.
1
Install
One Composer project creates the site with all its recipes, on the entity's servers or any hosting in the Kingdom.
2
Set the identity
The logo, the Digital Stamp, footer links and social accounts, from the theme settings.
3
Add content
News, services and publications in Arabic and English, in ready templates.
4
Verify and publish
One command checks the controls; then the approver approves the content and publishes it.
An open-source Drupal 11 distribution for Saudi government websites: content in Arabic and English, an approval workflow, and security and privacy controls, in one install.
Yes. Mutamad is open source under the GPL, with no licence fees; iSpectra develops and supports it.
On the entity's own servers or with any hosting provider in the Kingdom; the site loads no fonts or libraries from outside servers.
One command runs 288 automated checks after install, each tied to the control it verifies.
No. It runs on the entity's own model server; every other service is hidden, and nothing is sent until that server is named.
