The goal of this presentation will be to help government agencies using non-CMS powered websites and why they should port to websites to Drupal given our own experience.

The U.S. Web Design System's been around for six years. As USWDS grows beyond 2.0, there's an opportunity to make subsequent versions even easier to integrate and upgrade. Drupal powers much of the government web, and this session will be an opportunity to discuss the potential, pain, and possibility of using USWDS with Drupal projects - particularly as both your projects and the design system mature.

Morpht - Convivial CMS: Murray Woodman, from Morpht, will showcase Convivial CMS, a personalisation focused Drupal distribution. Convivial CMS ships with many personalisation and editor friendly features to make Drupal a first class citizen in the digital ecosystem.

Drupal powers the WA.gov.au platform. It has proven its worth in both setting whole-of-government standards in branding, usability, accessibility as well as reducing agency costs across the sector. It is the platform the WA Government has used to communicate with Western Australians during the COVID-19 pandemic as it has the flexibility, agility, and scalability to meet the ever-changing requirements of the state's response to the virus.

This talk/presentation will focus on the approach, methodology, principles, and frameworks leveraged by the team to deliver sustainable user centered solutions; which are built with whole-of-Government technologies, platforms and standards; that are aligned with whole-of-Health enterprise strategies. The talk/presentation will also touch on the technical solution, and its most integral component, the web CMS built with Drupal/GovCMS.

Exploring the overlaps between UX and content: content and UX are often treated as separate disciplines. We’ll discuss how content contributes to UX, and the tools and practices needed to deliver a more complete solution.

When organisations set out to improve their content, they often start with a writing style guide: a document that sets out the rules in detail. But is that even the best approach for our users - the people in our organisation who are creating and maintaining content? Is a guidance document the best approach for driving the behaviour change we seek?

By combining design systems with Layout Builder and Drupal features such as blocks we can deliver a "Wix" like drag and drop experience to site builders tasked with managing Drupal 8/9 websites.

This talk looks at development tips for GovCMS SaaS.
