Demonstration
Please review the following demonstration pages to see how the various components have been implemented and operate.
List of features
The following table provides some details on how the various "patterns" of the NSW Digitial Design System have been implemented. Where possible we have exposed the features to editors so that they have control over the components.
| Feature | Implementation | Use |
| Hero | Component | Hero components can be added on pages as needed. They can be configured to be light or dark. |
| Hero Search | Component | This is a complex component with many aspects and the potential for variablity in structure. |
| Cards | View Mode | The Cards display option can be selected by editors when building landing pages. |
| Styles | WYSIWYG | The core styles defined by the NSW DDS are available as options in the WYSIWYG editor. |

| Breadcrumb | Component | A breadcrumb displays a hierarchical series of links to help orient a user. |
| Buttons | WYSIWYG | Buttons provide users with the ability to submit an action or follow a link to another location. |
| Callout | Content | Callouts are a snippet of information that draws attention to important content. |

| In-page notifications | Component | In-page notifications are used to contextually inform users of important information or status of an interaction. |
| Link lists | Component | Link lists are a structured way of displaying links to content with a common theme. |
| Main navigation | Component | The main navigation shows users the key areas of your site and helps them to find what they are looking for. |
| Pagination | Component | Pagination indicates to a user that a list of items has been split in to multiple pages. |
| Progress indicator | Component, Form | Coming soon! The progress indicator component shows the user where they are in a process. The component is design to work across different pages. Multistep forms have also been updated to use this component. |

| Social bar | Content | The social bar is designed to allow users to share something of interest via social media. |

Developed by Morpht
Morpht is a Sydney based Drupal agency. We have built sites for a number NSW Government agencies including DPIE, State Archives and NSW Trustee and Guardian. The Convivial for NSW website is a starter site for building sites based on the NSW Design System. We have faithfully implemented the design system and exposed this as editor friendly components. This site is, in effect, the shell for starting builds based on the Drupal content management system. We are availabe for web development projects.
Morpht would like to work with NSW Government Agencies who wish to build Drupal sited base don the NSW Digital Design System. Please get in touch if you are interested.
