DrupalCon Seattle 2019: Component-driven Content Strategy for doctorswithoutborders.org

This talk addresses the challenges posed by CMS bloat, particularly in Drupal, highlighting the need for efficient content models. The speaker explores strategies to create elegant, flexible content structures through a modular, component-driven approach that enhances the content authoring experience and eases site maintenance. Using a case study of doctorswithoutborders.org, the session demonstrates how implementing modules like Paragraphs and fieldable blocks, combined with an atomic design principle, can simplify content structures while reducing the number of node and taxonomy bundles significantly. The discussion also includes the benefits of employing a living style guide, such as Pattern Lab, to streamline documentation and facilitate content structure iterations.
