Drupal CMS’s Experience Builder is revolutionising web development with its intuitive drag-and-drop tools, making it easier than ever to build flexible landing pages. But to fully harness XB’s potential, integrating a well-structured design system is essential.
Design systems provide reusable components that ensure consistency and efficiency. When adapting a design system for XB, it’s important to understand the benefits of structured components, such as Single Directory (SDCs), which simplify organisation and maintenance. Well-planned component architecture, including thoughtful use of props and , enhances UX and flexibility.
A key challenge is balancing specialised and generalised components. Specialised components offer precision, while generalised ones increase reusability, reducing development time. Striking the right balance ensures scalability without sacrificing user experience.
Looking ahead, XB’s evolving capabilities open new opportunities for design systems. By leveraging its full power, content creators can create highly-engaging websites with minimal effort.
Experience Builder is a game-changer, and combining it with a robust design system takes web development to the next level. By making smart architectural decisions, teams can build efficient, scalable, and visually cohesive websites faster than ever. Now is the time to embrace the future of web design with XB!
