Recommended CMS path
WordPress, ready if CPC chooses it.
The Commission's site is WordPress today, and staff need to keep updating it without a developer. This concept is a real WordPress theme - not a static mockup of one - while leaving room for CPC to approve another secure, accessible CMS. Staff add a document, a meeting, or a news post, and it flows into the library, the calendar, and search automatically.
What the theme includes
- 01
PDF-first document library
A cpc_document type with category, committee, date, and accessibility metadata. Upload a PDF once; it appears in the filterable library and in search.
- 02
Meeting workflow
A cpc_meeting type for agendas, minutes, packets, and committee records, sorted and archived automatically.
- 03
News
Native WordPress posts — the newsroom staff already know how to use.
- 04
Robust search
Full-text search and the Ask surface over every document and page.
- 05
Accessible blocks
Editor patterns that stay WCAG 2.2 AA even as staff add content, with PDF guidance built into the workflow.
- 06
Future portals
Committee or department portals can be added later without rebuilding the public record from scratch.
The real theme

front-page.php this overview
page-documents.php the searchable document library
page-ask.php Ask the CPC, over the same record
page-meetings.php agendas & minutes archive
assets/theme.css self-hosted fonts, no CDN
assets/app.js search, filters, Ask — no runtime dependenciesThe public concept you're viewing is a static export of that theme, so it loads fast and stays online for review. If CPC selects WordPress, the editing experience runs exactly as staff would use it; if CPC selects another approved CMS, the same content model carries over.
