LocalGov Drupal Empowering Inclusive Local Government Websites
LocalGov Drupal (LGD) is a specialized content management system (CMS) tailor-made for local government websites. Built on the reliable and established Drupal platform, LGD has proven itself on various large-scale sites in public and private sectors, including Royal Mail, Eurostar, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Pfizer.
The unique focus of LGD lies in meeting the specific requirements of local councils and government organizations. A key aspect that sets LGD apart is its commitment to accessibility, making it highly inclusive for all users. Nomensa has shared insights on the benefits of upgrading to LGD.
Creating a 100% accessible web-based CMS is challenging, and achieving absolute accessibility can be difficult. However, LGD benefits significantly from the contributions of the wider Drupal A11y community, comprising enthusiastic and dedicated practitioners who prioritize accessibility in all aspects. Drupal undergoes extensive testing with automation tools, ensuring that core releases meet accessibility quality standards.
A primary objective of LGD is to ensure accessibility, enabling councils to build websites that are inclusive, user-friendly, and compliant with WCAG 2.1 level AA accessibility guidelines. The LGD documentation for accessibility provides extensive and clear guidance for contributors, ensuring that accessibility is effectively implemented throughout the system.
