How Drupal Content Building Evolves with Paragraphs and Mercury Editor

Staff Reporter

Drupal developer Alejandro Madrigal , in his latest blog post, shared insights on improving the content-building experience in Drupal. In the post, he highlights how tools like Paragraphs, Layout Paragraphs, and Mercury Editor are transforming website building.

Unlike WordPress, which has long had builders like WP Bakery and Elementor, Drupal lacked an intuitive, WYSIWYG solution. Madrigal explains how Layout Paragraphs introduced a drag-and-drop experience, making content creation more visual and user-friendly. The Mercury Editor further enhances this by providing a real-time preview of pages.

Madrigal has successfully implemented these tools in projects such as the National Operations Center of Excellence and the American Library Association. He encourages developers to explore this method and hints at future advancements with Drupal’s upcoming Experience Builder.

For those interested, Madrigal recommends attending the Layout Paragraphs session at DrupalCon Atlanta 2025 for a deeper dive into this approach.
