Drupal Layout Builder

Your Swiss Army Knife for Independent Website Maintenance and Presentation of New Content

How does your website become a competitive advantage? What makes it a powerful, professional tool?

Clearly: It is designed with your strategic goals in mind. It is attractively, user-friendly, and consistently designed with your corporate design. And it is flawlessly programmed and implemented with pixel precision. For this, marketers, web designers, and web developers work closely together.

This results in a perfect shell. But the most important thing is still missing! Namely, your content and its continuous expansion and updating.

Because only the content can captivate your target audience, draw them to your website, and guarantee you sales, leads, interaction, and brand loyalty.

Content-Aktualisierung ist essentiell für erfolgreiche Websites. Eine gute Website ist niemals „fertig“, sondern bereit, vom Kunden eigenständig gepflegt und fortgeschrieben zu werden.

Bring New Content Online Quickly and in Line with Corporate Design: Without an Agency, Without Programming Knowhow, Without Extra Expenses

The relevance of your website—as well as its search engine ranking—depends on the audience-relevant and up-to-date content presented there.

This is why you and your website editors must always be able to integrate new content into the website quickly and without third-party help, and present it precisely: whether it be blocks with texts or image galleries, videos or audios, infographics or tables, or even completely new subpages. To ensure this is always done in perfect form and guaranteed to align with corporate design, we recommend the Drupal Layout Builder.

The term "Content Management System" carries the promise of being able to manage and present any content completely independently—and users should settle for nothing less.

More User-Friendly and Simple than WordPress and Others

Besides Drupal, other systems also rely on editable content blocks—such as WordPress with the Gutenberg Editor. However, without profound programming knowledge, these content blocks are hardly customizable. Plugins like Elementor, WPBakery Page Builder, or Multipurpose Themes only seemingly solve this problem.

In reality, they usually burden editors with endless configuration options. The result almost always: lengthy, inefficient editing work, or an inconsistent, non-brand-compliant layout. And unfortunately, not infrequently: both together.

Your Tailored Drupal Layout Builder: Flexible, Efficient, and Truly User-Friendly

Instead of leaving you with the Gutenberg Editor alone or handing you an unchecked multipurpose theme, we offer you a powerful layout builder that provides exactly the elements you need for maintaining and expanding your online presence. The creation of these elements is an explicit part of our development process.

Our designers meticulously ensure that all elements are universally applicable and combinable, making it possible to present diverse content and content types precisely and 100% in line with corporate design.

Instead of an "All-in-One" approach, we offer a tailored solution that is precisely adapted to the customer's needs, conserves their resources, and guarantees perfect results. All within the scope of the initial development process.

Through deep integration with Drupal, you do not have to compromise on flexibility.

Layout Builder Sections: Everything Has a Beginning

The Drupal Layout Builder makes integrating new content a breeze right from the start. Initially, you create one to four-column basic layouts with just a few clicks. The section elements assist you with this process. Later, you can place a variety of elements here.

Different column widths and backgrounds or additional design options provided for you guarantee a varied look and create visual highlights – always in harmony with your brand.

Layout Builder Blocks: The Heart of Your Content

As part of the development process, we exclusively implement blocks and elements for you, which you can place in the created sections to optimally present your page content.

To ensure you remain fully flexible, we design different variants of the elements: for example, for light or dark page types, etc. Extensions of the components are quickly designed and integrated thanks to our modular approach, allowing us to fulfill future requests in no time.

Structured Data: A Single Source of Truth

Sections and blocks can also be created globally and displayed at various places on your site. By combining this with the ability to reference entire content types, a single source is created for a wide range of content, which only needs to be maintained and edited using the Layout Builder.

Drag & Drop: In Case Something Goes Wrong

With the Drupal Layout Builder, you can move, duplicate, or rearrange any elements of your page as you like via drag & drop.

This provides you with an intuitive, efficient creation process and the ability to effortlessly showcase your content in the best light.

Live Preview: Visualizing the Creation Process

The practical live preview accompanies you in real-time during content integration or page creation. This way, you can always see how settings or changes on section or block level affect the look of your page.

The effect: effortless experimenting, assessing, discarding, and optimizing until you reach the perfect result. The big plus: while your possibilities are nearly limitless, the page look always complies with the CD (Corporate Design).

Revisions: Back to the Beginning

Often, trying is better than studying. The revision feature of the Drupal Layout Builder allows you to create and evaluate different layout versions, and if needed, revert to the original design with the push of a button.

This way, you protect yourself from data loss or can easily undo unwanted changes. For instance, if multiple editors are working on your site simultaneously from different locations.

It’s a Wrap!

Qualitative and efficient content integration in the best CMS sense was never easier.

Manage your content! With a layout builder tailored precisely to your needs, you have a powerful visual design tool at your disposal to present new content on your website easily and CD-conform: without programming knowledge and without the help of third parties.

Save time and money, gain independence and flexibility, and benefit from an always up-to-date website that excites your visitors and fully contributes to your brand.
