Drag and Drop Content Management in Drupal
Presenters: Chris O'Donnell and Aaron Couch
By combining design systems with Layout Builder and Drupal features such as blocks we can deliver a "Wix" like drag and drop experience to site builders tasked with managing Drupal 8/9 websites.
In this session attendees will learn:
- How to integrate design systems with Drupal
- How to combine component libraries with Drupal Blocks and Layout Builder
- How to use Emulsify to manage your component library for the website
- How to leverage prebuilt built components on other websites
- How this approach builds on Drupal's inherent flexibility
Non-technical attendees will learn how this approach increases agility while decreasing costs by enabling reuse of previously completed work.
