Andreas,

Thank you for the description, I have taken some more time to look into
both QWC2 and Lizmap. QWC2 seems very nice [although I would like if the
menu remained showing on the larger screens.] I have a tendency to want to
use QWC2 since it is intended to integrate with QGIS projects and appears
to be in development alongside QGIS, but Lizmap is very nice as well.

Do you happen to know if QWC2 has any authentication features yet?

Thank you, Chris
