Drupal platforms are built to grow with you
We design and build Drupal websites, intranets, and public portals that state agencies use to run their programs. Our work spans research, content, design, development, migration, and the training that lets your agency's own team take over. We bring deep technical skill and the broad perspective that comes from working with many public-sector agencies.
Our approach
Discovery and Research
We start with the people who use the system and those who maintain it. We use interviews, analytics, and stakeholder sessions to help surface what is already working well, what is getting in the way, and which problems should be solved first.
Content and Structure
A redesign is often an opportunity to address content that has grown faster than anyone could maintain it. We audit what exists, identify what can be retired, and shape the structure around the questions the public actually arrives with.
Design and Prototyping
We design in the open, testing layouts and navigation with real users before development begins. Accessibility is part of every design as well as every step that follows, not simply a check at the end.
System Development
Component-based page building in Drupal gives experienced editors room to compose and adapt without a developer, while structured content types keep recurring items consistent and make occasional publishing straightforward for people who use the system only a few times a year.
Migration and Launch
Thousands of pages move with their search rankings intact, through careful redirect mapping and staged release. Launch is a scheduled, rehearsed event with a clear rollback plan behind it, minimizing drama and last-minute heroics.
Training and Handoff
We provide training for the people who will publish every day, so the site stays accurate and accessible long after the engagement ends. You keep the recordings so the training stays with your organization as responsibilities change over time.
Content Innovation
Advancing AI tools are making new capabilities available and more feasible every day. We're keeping up with these innovations and finding ways to help our clients do things that were not really possible even a year ago. From translation, to content governance, to more flexible data and visual relationships, we're applying innovation to the problems your agency needs to solve today.
Flexible Starting Points
We can provide a pre-configured system that covers many of your agency needs quickly out of the box, custom developed based on years of experience to solve for common needs in the public sector. We can also provide fully custom solutions to the new problems agencies face today.
Deep Drupal expertise, applied to public sector realities
Over the last decade we have made a focused investment in Drupal, making it our CMS of choice for public sector work. That focus means we arrive knowing the platform, the hosting options, and the compliance requirements state agencies are held to, and we build on the current stable, supported release.
Core capabilities
Drupal Implementation
New builds on the current stable, supported release of Drupal, with a component library, editorial controls, and a hosting configuration matched to your security and procurement requirements.
Drupal Upgrades and Version Migrations
Moving agencies off unsupported Drupal versions onto a current, maintainable platform, with a sequence that keeps the existing site stable throughout.
Information Architecture
Navigation, taxonomy, and metadata structures built from user research, so people find programs without already knowing what they are called internally.
Content Audit, Strategy, and Migration
Full inventory of what exists, a plan for what to keep, retire, or rewrite in plain language, and a migration that preserves SEO value.
UX Research and Visual Design
Usability testing, prototyping, and design systems built for government audiences with a wide range of devices, connection speeds, and abilities.
Accessibility Compliance
Design, code, content, and documents evaluated against WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508, including the PDF libraries most audits flag first.
Integrations and Structured Content
Connections to the systems agencies already run, with content modeled so the same verified information can be reused across the site rather than maintained in five places.
Editorial Workflow and Governance
Approval chains, role-based permissions, review cycles, and documented ownership, so only current, compliant content reaches the public.
End-to-End Project Lifecycle Support
One team from content audit and design through build, migration, training, and ongoing support, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between vendors.
“GovWebworks worked collaboratively with both our internal team and our ITSD department to keep everyone aligned. Not only was GWW extremely responsive in addressing issues promptly, but they also served as an invaluable knowledge base, guiding our team as we transitioned to the Drupal platform.”
