Layout Builder, A Paragraphs Killer?

Written by  Matt O'Bryant

Oomph has been using Paragraphs to deliver “flexible content” areas and content layouts for our clients. With the release of Drupal 8.7 and the addition of Layout Builder, Oomph has begun to incorporate the new Layout Builder functionality into our websites. Learn the advantages of Layout Builder over Paragraphs and how you can successfully implement Layout Builder on your next project.

Some topics covered are:

  • How to setup Layout Builder for static and flexible content templates.
  • How to setup components (blocks) to be added to your Layout.
  • How to add custom user-selected configuration to your components (blocks) as classes.
  • Useful contribute modules to use with Layout Builder.
  • Future Roadmap of Layout Builder

President & Managing Director

Hello my name is Matt.

I get to spend my days learning all about both new and existing clients and working with them to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Whether it’s leading the engagement team (both client and Oomph) through the discovery process on a new project or digging elbows deep into the analytics data on an existing site, it’s my daily mission to help our clients leverage digital technologies to reach and surpass their business goals.

Prior to life as an Oomph-er, I worked as a Project Manager for another digital agency leading both website development and internet marketing projects. From running large scale SEO and PPC campaigns to building e-commerce and marketing websites for large national brands, I’ve run the gamut in the digital world and I love what I do. But most of all, I love getting to go home at the end of the day and spend time with my wife and friends.

In my spare time, you will find me volunteering in the local community, traveling, cooking with my wife, or playing golf.
