About our Digital Practice

Salsa's digital services

Salsa offers a range of digital services, from Drupal theming, Drupal module development and content migrations to full Drupal site development and support, including GovCMS SaaS and PaaS. Our services cater to organisations at all stages of their website journey, from those looking to assess options and design a new site, to those ready to build and deploy.

Salsa's digital services include:

We recommend Drupal

We recommend building your new site with Drupal. Drupal is an enterprise-grade, open source CMS that’s highly maintained and secure. It has over a million community contributors globally and strong worldwide adoption with over 500,000 websites. It’s also won several international open source CMS awards and is used by many leading private organisations, governments, not-for-profits and academia including IBM, Pfizer, Unicef and Paramount. It is the chosen CMS for the GovCMS program and choice of CMS for the NSW, Victorian and Western Australian governments.

We recommend CivicTheme

Salsa recommends CivicTheme as a traditional, ground-up ‘bespoke’ Drupal theme development. We believe this can form the perfect foundation for websites.

Using the CivicTheme design system we can deliver their website, better, faster, cheaper:

• Better – using tested and standards-compliant design system components as a foundation increases quality
• Faster – many of the features map to existing CivicTheme components, or require minor extensions, reducing overall design, functional and compliance testing and project build time
• Cheaper – using CivicTheme has quantum levels of cost reduction over a bespoke theme solution in our experience, when a project leverages the existing investment made in CivicTheme and its ongoing open source public patches and updates

Updating an existing website

If you're looking to update your current Drupal site, we offer services for site audits, WCAG audits, module development and theming.

Drupal version upgrades

If you're looking to upgrade your Drupal version, we can guide you on your options and full migration services.

Content migration

The benefits of content migration and consolidation include:

• Content management: Ability to easily manage your content without relying on a developer to update content or change your site’s information architecture (IA) and menu items.
• An easy-to-use CMS: Access the many benefits of GovCMS including, fully maintained hosting system, simple ‘no-coding’ content management interface, compliant with DTA design systems and best practice responsive design frameworks, and built on a secure public cloud.
• Content consolidation: As part of the migration process, there’s an opportunity to audit legacy content, consolidate the IA and update the content and/or the tone of the content.
• Repeatable, predictable: With automation, content migrations become repeatable and predictable, which provides greater confidence, faster migrations and high accuracy, eliminating human error for rework.
