Promet Source’s USWDS-Aligned Drupal Solution for Federal Agencies
Federal Agencies, Meet DUSWDS!
Comment

Federal agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize their digital platforms while meeting strict accessibility and compliance standards. Many government websites, however, struggle with outdated designs, poor accessibility, and inconsistent user experiences. To address these challenges, Promet Source has introduced DUSWDS, an open-source Drupal distribution specifically designed to help federal agencies align with the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) and meet Section 508 accessibility requirements.

DUSWDS offers a turnkey solution for agencies, providing pre-built USWDS-aligned components that ensure accessibility, consistency, and user-friendliness. The platform integrates seamlessly with Drupal’s Layout Builder, allowing non-technical staff to easily manage content through drag-and-drop functionality. This reduces reliance on developers, speeds up website updates, and ensures compliance with federal design standards from the start.

Built with a focus on accessibility, DUSWDS ensures that government websites meet WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines, providing an inclusive digital experience for all users, including those with disabilities. In addition to accessibility, DUSWDS leverages Drupal’s robust security framework, safeguarding websites against vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with government security standards.

In a blog post written by Cassey Bowden of Promet Source, it is highlighted that by adopting DUSWDS, federal agencies can significantly reduce development time and costs while delivering modern, mobile-responsive, and accessible digital services. The platform empowers agencies to focus on their core missions while ensuring that their digital presence meets evolving user expectations and regulatory requirements.
