Monarq Introduces Sections & Components System for Drupal

Staff Reporter

Monarq has developed a new system called Sections & Components to simplify content management in Drupal, enhancing user experience by making the platform more intuitive and flexible. This system enables site administrators to build customized, responsive pages by combining predefined sections and components such as text blocks, images, carousels, and call-to-action buttons. The modular approach allows users to rearrange and adapt layouts without needing to code, providing flexibility.

"When a Drupal site is developed the right way, it remains intuitive and easy to use, regardless of how many features are added over time. That's why we developed the Sections & Components System: an intuitive approach that makes Drupal as user-friendly and accessible as popular drag-and-drop website builders, like Wix, Squarespace, and others, while still maintaining its robust flexibility and scalability for future enhancements."

notes Charles Matte, in his blog post about Sections and Components.

One notable implementation of the system was for the McGill Executive Institute, where Monarq's team performed a comprehensive analysis of the existing site before upgrading it from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10. By identifying content patterns, they enabled administrators to easily create and modify pages using the new Sections & Components structure. The system offers various layout options, including symmetrical, asymmetrical, and functional sections, which can be adapted to fit specific content needs while maintaining design consistency and accessibility standards across devices.

Monarq’s solution ensures that even complex page layouts remain user-friendly and visually cohesive, supporting diverse content types such as FAQs, media carousels, and lead-generation forms. This approach guarantees a scalable, accessible website architecture that evolves with clients' needs.

More details on the system can be found in a blog post published on their website by Charles Matte, Project Manager at Monarq.
