How does Annex turn… | GovCMS & Drupal

Annex approaches using Drupal and GovCMS for governed, structured digital publishing by combining the disciplines needed to test both desirability and feasibility. Following a comprehensive design and content strategy the team implemented a design and content style guide. With the need for rapid development and deployment, as well as the ability to have a coordinated content publishing workflow with governance, the Annex team worked with GovCMS to setup a new website on the GovCMS SaaS platform in under 24 hours. The pattern across its published work is discovery first, evidence where it is useful, and then iterative design and technical delivery rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all method.
