Can Drupal be the de-coupled CMS that marketers also love?

ishanmahajan

If you look at Google search trends for "De-coupled CMS", you will see a steady rise since late 2015.
With a separated front and backend, decoupled content management systems offer exciting opportunities for developers and marketers alike. But in the current marketplace, a transition to headless can mean losing bread-and-butter CMS features. This puts many companies in an uncomfortable bind.

Yes, front end developers who have a preference for modern JS frameworks such as React and Angular love the idea of de-coupled Drupal. But what about marketers or other CMS users? Are they on board with losing traditional CMS features such as drag & drop page builders, content preview etc, which they have been using for years?

In this session, we will go over this divide within the CMS world - Developer led de-coupled push Vs Marketer led resistance to stay with traditional CMS.

Trying to find a solution that fits both your marketers and developers can be a headache. This is where Drupal can help.

We'll demo how you can use Drupal, in a completely de-coupled (with Angular, Next.js and Gatsby) fashion and still retain:

- Drupal's layout builder for drag & drop page building
- Preview unpublished content and retain editorial workflow
- Scheduling
- Managing menus
- Control meta tags and schema.org
- Set redirects
- and much more...

Bonus: we'll share Drupal projects and Github starter kits that will enable you to set up these demos and use these features yourself.
