Morpht had an incredible time at DrupalSouth 2025 Melbourne! It was, as always, a fantastic event filled with connection, collaboration, and learning alongside the Drupal community.
Launch a modern government site without starting from scratch
Convivial Gov pairs a drag-and-drop page builder, Drupal Canvas, with a library of ready-made components. Editors assemble pages without deep technical knowledge, and the design stays consistent as the site grows.
It's built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, with contrast checking across every colour palette. The components have also been refined for strong Lighthouse performance.
What you get:
- A faster path from install to launch. Components, skins, and content types are in place from day one.
- Editors who build their own pages. Drag-and-drop layouts made from reusable components.
- Accessibility and performance built in. WCAG 2.2 AA conformance and checked palettes.
What's in the template
A visual page builder
Editors build pages from reusable components with Drupal Canvas, the visual builder introduced through Drupal's Starshot initiative.
A component library for real pages
Layouts and sections, cards and teasers, accordions, tabs, sliders, stats, video, buttons, and modals. Image, parallax, and video backgrounds, and scroll-reveal animation, add richer pages.
Full control over look and feel
A theme interface lets you set skins, colour palettes, typography, and spacing without writing code. Skins support light and dark mode, which suits campaign or landing pages that need their own look.
Content types made for government
Alert, Article, Audience, Event, Page, Person, Resource, Section, and Topic, each with its own fields. Except for Page and Section, landing pages list new content automatically once it's published.
Modern, maintainable foundations
Convivial Gov uses Single Directory Components and Recipes, with Tailwind CSS and daisyUI for theming. Developers can extend it and keep it consistent as the site grows.
