This open-source block theme is a foundational design system for building public sector and government-aligned websites. It is intended for developers and site administrators who need to create sites that adhere to specific accessibility, branding, and content management requirements. The theme provides a standardized starting point to accelerate development while maintaining consistency across different web properties.

• Standardized Design System: The theme enforces a consistent visual language and component library, ensuring all sites built with it meet predefined branding and style guidelines.
• Accessibility-First Development: Built with WCAG compliance as a core principle, the theme includes semantic HTML, keyboard navigation support, and proper ARIA attributes to serve a wide audience.
• Modular Site Features: Site-specific styles, templates, and block patterns are managed as optional features within a single codebase, reducing the need for separate theme forks and simplifying updates.
• Integrated Development Workflow: Includes tooling for local development (Composer, npm scripts) and production builds, facilitating a modern development process for teams.
• Extensible Block Patterns: Provides a library of pre-designed page sections and layouts that can be enabled or disabled per site, allowing for rapid page assembly without sacrificing design control.
