LocalGov Drupal: Major Milestones in 2024, More Ahead in 2025
LocalGov Drupal achieved significant milestones in 2024, with council participation rising to 53 and over 30 new microsites launched. The platform focused on enhancing accessibility, user experience, and editor tools. Key updates included live previews for design changes, the Mercury editor for drag-and-drop publishing, and new access controls for microsites. A recent blog post published by Annertech delves deep into the achievements of LocalGov Drupal in the year 2024.
Accessibility remained a priority, with LocalGov Drupal ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.2 standards. The platform underwent an audit to resolve issues and plans to extend this to microsites in 2025. Monthly accessibility drop-ins further supported the community’s efforts.
LocalGov Drupal Week 2024 showcased these advancements, with workshops and sessions led by Product Lead Will Callaghan. Discussions emphasized progress on 2024’s mission to simplify content publishing through features like the Gin admin theme and multi-page previews.
Looking to 2025, new tools like the Mercury editor’s front-end editing, live design previews, and AI integration are set to transform content management. Accessibility improvements and the January launch of Drupal CMS also promise to further empower councils.
