Notes to the data
It’s worth mentioning that almost every government department and agency uses the Gov.uk platform, at least in part. Therefore an agency using another CMS e.g. Wordpress may also use Gov.uk. When deciding which CMS an organisation uses, we identify where the majority of content is published.
How we obtained the data
We adopted the same approach as used to research local government CMS usage.
