How to Theme LocalGov Drupal Microsites Using Base and Sub-Themes
In his video tutorial, Mark Conroy, frontend lead at The Confident, shares a concise walkthrough on how to manage visual consistency across LocalGov Drupal Microsites using a combination of a base theme and sub-themes. The approach allows councils and organizations using LocalGov Drupal to maintain a shared design system while still enabling site-specific overrides for branding or layout adjustments.
By leveraging localgov_microsites_base as a foundation and building sub-themes on top of it, developers can tweak styles, templates, and CSS variables for individual microsites without starting from scratch each time. The demo emphasizes simplicity and practicality, offering real-world advice based on Conroy’s experience deploying these strategies in production environments.
