More about CivicTheme

CivicThemeExternal Link is an open source design system with a Drupal 10 theme and component library to provide a consistent, high quality digital experience out-of-the-box. The foundational design system framework allows web administrators to build page layouts and convey consistent and reusable visual design elements and components across a website.

CivicTheme is a technology/CMS agnostic design system, however the first release is designed and optimised for Drupal 10.

The underlying Figma-based design system, component designs and interactions are based on the proven (but now decommissioned) Australian Government Design System (AuDS). The corresponding theme built in Drupal is made up of rigorously designed, engineered and user-validated components.

It’s also been designed with accessibility front-of-mind, with out-of-the-box components meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
