Why CivicTheme with TrueCMS

Combine CivicTheme’s reusable design foundations with experienced guidance, clear scope and careful checks throughout delivery.

Cut delivery cost without cutting quality
Reusable CivicTheme components and workshops can reduce bespoke design and build work. The effect on cost depends on your requirements and starting point.
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.

GovCMS SaaS

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.
Consistent checks before release
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.
