What if launching a Drupal site didn’t mean starting from scratch—or stitching together a dozen modules, recipes, and a theme manually? Site Templates change the game: fully composed, customizable starting points that bring best-in-class content models, functionality, and design into a single install. With Drupal CMS 2.0, Experience Builder and a new bundled design system, we’re unlocking a faster, smarter way to build.
