Posts about the GovIntranet WordPress theme.
Version 5 of Govintranet was released this year, rebranded as ‘Govintra’.
It was not the big bang move to the WordPress block editor that I had initially envisioned. We still use the Classic Editor and widgets, because clients can’t cope with creating element after element in the block editor. But the new theme contains many new features and improvements.
We don’t have thousands of staff like the big government departments, hospitals and local councils that we support, but we still need an intranet.
The WonderWall module of GovIntranet has been in place on a number of client intranets for a few years. And now we have seen the first self-nomination on a wall.
In a bid to help clients make their intranets more accessible, I’ve created an admin report to show a pass or fail for AA and AAA colour contrast checkpoints across regular and large text sizes.
After lockdown was announced, I was pleased to discover that all my clients could access their intranets from outside their office workplaces.
