GovCraft

GovCraft is a free, open-source Drupal theme designed for U.S. government agencies and public-sector websites.

Built on the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS), GovCraft provides a reusable design system with 50 Single Directory Components (SDCs), including headers, navigation, hero sections, cards, news listings, service listings, forms, and footers. Where USWDS has a component, GovCraft recompiles it with the theme's own palette and typography; where it has none, GovCraft adds a custom one.

Key features

• USWDS-based design system tailored for government websites.
• 50 reusable Drupal Single Directory Components.
• Integration with Drupal Canvas for visual page building: editors place and fill in components without writing code.
• Responsive layouts for desktop and mobile devices.
• Designed with WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 accessibility requirements in mind.
• No build step: the compiled USWDS assets and fonts ship with the theme.

Requirements

• Drupal 11.3 or later.

No other module or library is required.

Recommended modules

• Drupal Canvas: to place the components on pages. Without it the components still render from Twig templates, but an editor cannot place them.
• Webform: the theme styles Drupal forms and returns the visitor to the webform after sending it.

Installation

composer require drupal/govcraft

Then go to Appearance, install GovCraft, and set it as the default theme.
