We’re excited to announce a major milestone for our team: we’ve officially joined the Drupal Services Panel! This achievement grants our Australian and New Zealand teams access to exciting new opportunities to work on projects for Australian government agencies, where we’ll be delivering web and app solutions on the Drupal and GovCMS platforms that prioritise usability, security, performance, standards compliance and accessibility.

Our Melbourne and Wellington based offices have been working hard for multiple years on achieving registrations for Australian and New Zealand Government digital panels and being added to the 'DSP' marks our latest achievement; which is particularly important for us as we love Drupal and have been honing it as a specialty skill set since first working with it back in 2008. It's been a long journey with this open source community and this new chapter marks a bright new beginning in delivering GovTech solutions utilising the expertise we've invested in building over the years.

What Does Being on the Drupal Services Panel Mean?

As part of the Drupal Services Panel, we can now deliver services across two crucial categories:

Category 1 & 2: Development, Theming, and Support Services

We are now able to provide full Drupal website development and theming services. This includes custom design, building secure and high-performing websites, and offering ongoing support and maintenance for Drupal-based projects. If you're looking for a Drupal or GovCMS provider with both strong creative and development skills, a proven track record, and a super strong technical team with decades of experience with Drupal, please get in touch with us to explore us being your new provider.
Learn more about Category 1 & 2 here.

Why This Is a Big Deal

Being accepted onto the Drupal Services Panel reflects the strength of our expertise in Drupal development and working with Government clients. It allows us to bring our technical skills and creativity to projects that will have a meaningful impact on public services in Australia. Working with government clients means upholding high standards of accessibility, security, and performance—areas where we excel.

We're also put in significant time into how to use leading Drupal-for-Government solutions such as Lagoon (cloud host) GovCMS (Drupal distribution for Government), CivicTheme (beautiful front-end and content platform designed for public service) for rapidly putting together advanced Government websites. Never has it been so fast, economical, and impressive to assemble Government websites to a very high standard, in a short amount of time.

What’s Next for Us?

We’re eager to begin partnering with government agencies to deliver robust Drupal / GovCMS websites, powerful digital experience platforms, and comprehensive ongoing support. This opportunity is a chance to help shape the future of government digital services, ensuring they’re both user-friendly and highly secure.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we embark on this new chapter!
