Migrating from WordPress to Drupal CMS can feel like a big leap—especially if you’re used to WordPress’s page builders and want to maintain editorial flexibility. But Drupal CMS gives you the best of both worlds—a user-friendly interface for content teams, powered by the flexibility and robustness of Drupal core.

In this session, we’ll get into the nuts and bolts of making the transition smoother by using Paragraphs, Layout Paragraphs, and Style Options to build modular, customizable pages. Think of it as a “Lego pieces” approach—instead of rigid templates, you get structured building blocks that allow for flexibility while keeping layouts consistent.

Drawing on a real-world case study, we’ll walk through the entire migration journey—what worked, what didn’t, and the creative problem-solving that got us through the tricky parts.

What we’ll cover:
-Tips for setting up an admin UX that WordPress fans want to use.
-Why structured content beats bloated page builders
-The fine line between flexibility and design chaos and how to empower content teams without sacrificing consistency.
-Lessons learned about content mapping, handling legacy content, and avoiding common pitfalls.
-A deep dive into Layout Paragraphs and why they’re a good fit when moving to Drupal CMS

If you’re thinking about a move to Drupal CMS or just nerd out on CMS architecture, this session is for you. You’ll walk away with practical strategies and a newfound appreciation for Drupal’s flexible content model.
