Australian Government Website Starter Template
Quickly build and launch a new website using the Australian Government design system.
A website starter template that makes it quick and easy to set up a new website using Australian Government Design System in Squiz Matrix.
The template can be imported directly into Squiz Matrix saving you time getting started. The template also includes a pre-set asset configuration and structure in the backend, using a layout and config that is consistent with Squiz best practices.
Simply download the template file, import it to your Squiz Matrix CMS, apply URLs, and you are ready to go.
The site implementation is based on the Design system starter kit, which is produced by the Digital Transformation Agency, and and includes all components from the design system's component library. Once imported into Squiz Matrix, you can extend the site implementation with further features and design customisations.
