A behind-the-scenes look at how we use Vortex and CivicTheme to power our site—and why we’re sharing it with the world.

Vortex 25.8.0 introduces support for Drupal CMS, optimises CI to cut build times by up to five minutes, and improves Lagoon hosting with a logs package and fixed Drush aliases. The installer has been significantly enhanced with a new Starter prompt, configuration-file support, tool selection, improved .env handling, and expanded test coverage.

Vortex 25.7.0 introduces Drupal 11.2 support, enhanced CI performance, improved local development with better Docker and Composer handling, and a more robust installer experience—all aimed at streamlining development and deployment workflows.

Vortex is a ready-to-go Drupal project template that takes care of all the boring (but critical) setup work, so you can focus on actually building cool stuff.

Move faster, reduce rework, and embed best practices from day one—without reinventing the wheel every time
