Australia's leading Drupal specialist

District CMS is our own managed Drupal accelerator. It takes fifteen years of government delivery and packages it into a fully managed platform with a design system, hosting, security and a continuous improvement programme all bundled under one contract.

Standard Drupal gives you total flexibility. The trade-off is that you take on everything required to run it: hosting, security, patching, updates and the operations team to keep it all going. District CMS gives you opinionated defaults and managed operations instead, so your team can focus on content and citizens rather than on the infrastructure underneath.

Everything from a single council website through to a federal multisite estate running dozens of sub-sites from a single codebase.

Our Drupal work spans federal, state and local government, and includes regulated enterprise clients where accessibility and long-term maintainability are non-negotiable.

All of our managed hosting sits on AWS Sydney across multiple availability zones, running on the Amazee.io Lagoon container platform tuned specifically for Drupal.

Australian data sovereignty is the default on every managed platform, and every engineer who touches your environment is based in Australia.

Yes. Platform takeover is a regular engagement for us, and a large share of the platforms in our current managed estate were originally built by other agencies.

We run a structured onboarding covering platform handover, documentation review, a security and performance baseline and monitoring setup before assuming support responsibility under our SLAs. After that we stabilise the platform and move it forward under a continuous improvement programme.

Support and continuous improvement retainers typically move from contract signature to first active engineering cycle within two to four weeks.

New builds go through a structured discovery phase first, so development usually begins four to eight weeks after kickoff, depending on the complexity of the scope, the integration landscape and the procurement process.

Yes. We are an accredited GovCMS supplier and have delivered GovCMS builds for federal and state agencies over the past decade.

We build, migrate and support both GovCMS SaaS and GovCMS PaaS for agencies required to use the platform. Our team knows the constraints, the module ecosystem and the procurement requirements that come with it.
