#  Technical Delivery 

 

  



  Technical delivery is where the project comes together. It is the configuration, build, migration, integration, and testing work that turns design and content decisions into a live council website on LocalGov Drupal.We have been doing this work since LocalGov Drupal's early days. Our team has built and migrated council websites from a wide range of legacy platforms — Terminalfour, GOSS, and bespoke proprietary systems — and has developed tooling and approaches that make the process more efficient and less risky than starting from scratch each time.

  

  



  **What this covers**

**Environment setup and configuration** We set up development, staging, and production environments and configure LocalGov Drupal to match your council's specific requirements — content types, user roles, workflows, and third-party integrations.

**Theme and front-end build** We implement interaction designs produced in Figma, building the theme and components accurately. Our front-end work follows accessibility best practice and is tested across browsers and devices before go-live.

**Content migration** Moving content from a legacy CMS to LocalGov Drupal is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone parts of any migration project. We have developed automated migration tooling that handles structured content at scale — reducing months of manual work to days in many cases, while maintaining content integrity and URL structures.

**Third-party integrations** Council websites rarely stand alone. We handle integrations with the systems your council already uses — payment gateways, waste collection lookups, planning portals, mapping tools, and others. Our Elections module, contributed to the LocalGov Drupal open-source project and used by councils across England, is an example of the kind of bespoke integration work we regularly undertake.

**Accessibility testing** All sites are tested against WCAG 2.1 AA before go-live, using automated tooling and manual testing to identify and resolve issues.

**Training** We provide training for your editorial team and, where relevant, your internal technical team. The goal is that your team can manage and develop the site confidently after handover.

**Project management** We run projects using agile methods adapted to the realities of council procurement and delivery timelines. You have a named project lead throughout, regular progress updates, and a clear escalation path if issues arise.

  

  



  **Open source contribution**

We contribute actively to the LocalGov Drupal codebase. When we develop new functionality for a council client, we look for opportunities to contribute it back to the community so other councils benefit. Our Elections module is the clearest example — originally built for Cumberland Shadow Council's founding election and subsequently refactored as a fully open-source module available to all LocalGov Drupal councils.
