G3W Overview¶
Why Choose this Product?¶
G3W-SUITE is a modular, client-server application built on Django and Python that embeds QGIS Desktop and Server under the hood, so you get the full power of QGIS in a simple, fast, autonomous web publish-and-manage solution.
Benefits at a glance
- Native QGIS integration: Publish your QGIS projects directly as OGC services without any extra conversion steps.
- Open-source stack: Based entirely on QGIS, Django, Python and OGC standards—no lock-in, no licensing fees.
- Flexible theming & access control: Organise services into themes, manage users/groups via ACLs, and expose only the modules you need.
- Built-in editing & search: Online spatial editing, custom search methods, and extensibility through functional modules.
What Size Should I Buy?¶
G3W-SUITE’s modular architecture lets you pick exactly the components you need:
- G3W-ADMIN (Administration & REST API + OGC proxy + ACL)
- G3W-CLIENT (Cartographic web client for viewing & interacting with services)
- Front-End Geographic Portal (Public portal to browse thematic groups and services)
Sizing your install
- Small/simple → just G3W-ADMIN + G3W-CLIENT
- Medium/managed → add the Front-End Portal for branded public access
- Large/enterprise → deploy all three modules behind a load-balancer for high-availability
