Convivial for GovCMS

Yes, significantly more than in previous versions. Drupal CMS 2.0 introduced Drupal Canvas, a visual drag-and-drop page builder. Morpht's Convivial for GovCMS extends this with a comprehensive no-code theming layer built on Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI, where colour palettes, typography, colour schemes, skins, layout modifiers, and component options are all configurable through theme settings without writing code. Site owners can apply campaign-specific skins, toggle dark mode, configure animated backgrounds, and adjust layout regions entirely through the user interface.

Convivial for GovCMS provides extensive no-code design control through its theme settings layer, which drives CSS variables across the site. Key capabilities include: colour palettes for branding discrete page sections; colour schemes for light and dark modes; skins that bundle colours, effects, and settings for campaigns or sub-sites; background options including solid colour, image, video, parallax, gradient, and texture; scroll reveal animations; menu styles (simple, dropdown, or megamenu); a built-in contrast checker for accessibility compliance; and per-region palette assignment. These remove the need for a front-end developer for routine design customisation.

Convivial for GovCMS ships with a large library of Single Directory Components (SDC) that editors and site builders can assemble into pages without developer assistance. Components include accordions, cards, charts, content tabs, decision flows, galleries, GeoCharts, image comparisons, item lists, lightboxes, maps, media lists, sliders, stats, timelines, and more. Each component has its own display and layout options. The component library dramatically reduces the build time for new page types and campaign pages, while ensuring visual consistency and accessibility compliance across the site.

Yes. Convivial for GovCMS is specifically designed to empower content strategists and marketing teams to build campaign-quality pages without developer involvement. The no-code page layout tools, component library, and skin system allow teams to create visually distinct campaign experiences, including branded colour treatments, hero imagery, animated statistics, and promotional blocks, within the guardrails of the design system. This significantly reduces the agency cost and turnaround time for campaign delivery compared to traditional bespoke development.

Convivial for GovCMS uses Drupal's Layout Builder combined with a rich component library of Single Directory Components. Drupal CMS 2.0 also introduced Drupal Canvas as a visual page builder for new installations. For enterprise builds, Morpht selects the appropriate combination of Layout Builder, paragraphs, and SDC components based on the site's complexity and editorial requirements. The goal is always to give content editors and marketers as much self-service capability as possible, reducing ongoing dependency on development resources.

Morpht offers a rapid demonstration programme for government agencies wanting to assess Convivial for GovCMS before committing to a full build. In this engagement, Morpht configures a working GovCMS site using Convivial's out-of-the-box features; components, design settings, personalisation tools, and content types in a single intensive session. This gives decision-makers and content teams a concrete, hands-on sense of the platform's capabilities and editor experience, dramatically reducing the risk and uncertainty of the procurement decision.
