Waiting for Drupal CMS (Starshot)? Don't! Get Layout Builder Working Right Now.

I can't wait for Drupal CMS (Starshot)! It's going to be awesome - but I can't wait. I have sites to build right now.

“Out-of-the-box” Layout Builder is pretty terrible. This session presents one way of configuring Layout Builder that makes it easier to use with beautiful results that anyone can implement. You’ll come away with a list of recommended contrib modules and configuration settings, and a completed "Startersite" launched with one mouse click. The Startersite is hosted on Gitpod (I have support videos on the entire setup) and comes with a complete set of styles, pre-set blocks and more - all without a line of code and without locking into any vendor (and it's yours to keep!)

We’ve been using this approach to convert 30 non-Drupal sites over very quickly, along with making the content editor’s job a LOT easier.
