Organisms

What are Organisms? In CivicTheme, organisms are relatively complex components composed of groups of molecules and atoms working together as a cohesive unit, based on Brad Frost's Atomic Design principles. These larger, more sophisticated interface sections form distinct, recognizable portions of the interface.

Organisms in CivicTheme include components such as headers, footers, navigation menus, and content listings, all designed to ensure accessibility, consistency, and reusability across digital services. These organisms are the functional building blocks of CivicTheme pages, combining multiple atoms and molecules to create meaningful interface sections while ensuring a consistent, accessible, and flexible design system across projects. Each organism follows WCAG 2.2 AA standards and is optimised for both design and development, with implementations available in Figma and Storybook.
