Case Study: DXW and the Government Digital Service improve government campaign publishing with VU Online

DXW and the Government Digital Service launch campaign sites 2x faster with VU Online

The Government Digital Service (GDS) and DXW faced a challenge in maintaining design consistency and accelerating content creation on their high-profile WordPress multisite platform for government campaigns. Their vendor, VU Online, was brought in to translate GDS design standards into a practical system and enhance CMS usability for editors who needed to launch sites rapidly.

VU Online implemented a set of pre-configured block patterns based on GDS templates, giving editors a starting point that ensured visual consistency. They also introduced a feature flag system for safe design updates and an embedded video training library. For the customer, this resulted in a noticeably easier-to-use platform with a faster setup process, improved quality, and a more resilient publishing environment for essential rapid communication.
