What Morpht does

Morpht is an Australian digital agency founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sydney, specialising in Drupal-based web development with a heavy concentration on the GovCMS platform that underpins Australian federal and state government websites. The firm maintains a distributed team across Australia, the Czech Republic, and Japan, and operates primarily through government procurement panels including the Drupal Services Panel, the GovCMS DXP Panel, BuyICT, NSW Government ICT Services Scheme (SCM0020), and the Tasmanian Government Technology Services List. Its core product is Convivial CXP, a personalisation-ready Drupal distribution integrating Recombee for recommendations, Sajari for AI search, NLP Cloud for content augmentation, and the proprietary Convivial Profiler for local user profiling; companion distributions include Convivial for GovCMS (implementing the Australian Government Design System) and Convivial for NSW (implementing the NSW Digital Design System). Morpht also maintains seven contributed Drupal modules including Modifiers, Personified, and JSON Template, and is a Gold-level Drupal Certified Partner and Drupal AI Initiative Gold AI Maker.

The business model combines three revenue streams: project-based professional services for Drupal site builds, migrations and upgrades; recurring support and maintenance delivered via monthly retainer agreements or pre-purchased hour packs; and licensing/distribution of Convivial CXP and Convivial for GovCMS, including delivery of DXP Panel personalisation services. Customer mix is dominated by Australian government agencies at the federal level (Therapeutic Goods Administration, National Office for Child Safety, Department of Health and Aged Care, Attorney-General's Department, Department of Defence, Australian Energy Regulator, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority) with adjacent work in state government (NSW Food Authority, NSW Trustee and Guardian), education, pharmaceutical, and nonprofit sectors. Recognised customers include flagship platforms such as the TGA website (5.5M+ monthly visitors, $1.5B in processed service transactions annually). Pricing is custom-quoted; no public pricing exists outside government panel procurement sheets.

Morpht operates without external institutional investment or parent company ownership, functioning as Morpht Pty. Ltd. under co-founders Murray Woodman (Managing Director) and Marji Cermak (Director). Go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales through panel procurement, supplemented by thought leadership via the DrupalSouth conference circuit (sponsor, presenter, and Splash Awards winner across 2024-2026), an active Insights blog, social media presence, and community contributions. The firm holds no public disclosure of revenue, funding, or valuation.
