Why CivicTheme with TrueCMS

Cut delivery cost without cutting quality

Accessibility as a baseline, not an add-on

CivicTheme publishes WCAG assessments for every component. We add automated checks so conformance stays verified.

Modern architecture ready for scale

Composable Drupal theme with Storybook and Single Directory Components. We wire CI/CD so changes deploy with confidence.

Open governance, proven maintainers

We contribute to CivicTheme’s roadmap and governance, so you get maintainers who know the backlog and release cadence.

Platforms we support

CivicTheme is ready for GovCMS SaaS, GovCMS PaaS, and self-managed Drupal. We deliver across all three with compliance intact.

How we keep CivicTheme projects affordable

Cost reduction is built into our delivery model. We prioritise reuse, automation, and decisive governance so budgets stay focused on outcomes.

Configure before you customise

We start with CivicTheme defaults, then introduce sub-theme overrides only where they add measurable value.

Prebuilt workshops & UI kit

We reuse CivicTheme’s UI kit and documentation for stakeholder alignment, cutting weeks from discovery and approvals.

Automation-first deployments

CI/CD pipelines with accessibility, performance, and regression checks stop rework before it hits production.

GovCMS SaaS provisioning scripts

Infrastructure automation spins up compliant environments quickly so your budget goes to user-facing outcomes.

What you get

  • CivicTheme site tailored to your audience, responsive and accessible by default.
  • Clean sub-theme with documented changes so updates land without conflict.
  • Optional new components packaged with Storybook notes and automated tests.
  • Handover guide mapping Drupal content types to CivicTheme components.
