Manage episode 475437016 series 3646239
This Podcast details a presentation by Simon and Alisa from Evolving Web, a Drupal-focused digital agency, about a real-world project migrating a nearly completed WordPress website to Drupal for BC Housing due to organizational standardization. They explain the challenges of rebuilding the informational site quickly, including inconsistent design implementation in WordPress's Gutenberg editor. The speakers describe their approach using Drupal's layout paragraphs and a custom "style options" module to create flexible yet structured content components, drawing an analogy to Lego bricks. They compare layout paragraphs with layout builder, highlighting the trade-offs between core functionality and ease of configuration, and share lessons learned about content strategy and the benefits of structured content for maintainability.
