Building a Flexible Design System for Iowa.gov

The state of Iowa had a scattered web presence consisting of over 70 agency websites running on various versions of Drupal and other CMS platforms. It was time to consolidate all of these websites into a single platform, but how do you design a platform flexible enough to meet varied needs while maintaining consistent design and quality standards?

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How to give editors control and flexibility while maintaining brand consistency.
  • How to get buy-in from agencies for moving to a unified platform.
  • How to expand your platform without overwhelming users with options.

These lessons not only apply to state governments but also to any organization with subsidiaries with different needs and stakeholders.
