Three Essential Drupal Features for Scalable Website Design and User Experience

Staff Reporter

Ana Beltran, writing for PreviousNext, outlines three key features that contribute to effective website experiences in large-scale Drupal projects: Storybook, Layout Builder, and OpenSearch. Storybook provides a component library where each element is documented and can be tested in isolation, helping content editors understand and select components based on layout and device compatibility. Layout Builder offers flexibility for content editors to customise pages without developer support and supports long-term scalability. OpenSearch enhances the search function by accommodating complex user queries, enabling organisations to prioritise certain content types, and supporting features like autocomplete, synonyms, and spell check to improve search accuracy.
