From blocks to brilliance: Creating editorial freedom in Drupal for UChicago Law's alumni magazine
Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2026
Time: 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Location: Rivers
Discover how we built a next-generation online magazine experience for the University of Chicago Law School that puts creative power directly in the hands of site editors without sacrificing maintainability. This session will showcase how an online magazine site was built to deliver a highly customizable and engaging online publishing experience.
We’ll walk through the technical approach to creating a flexible row-and-block system that empowers editors to design unique layouts mixing text, images, video and interactive content. You’ll see how article detail pages support multiple masthead styles, advanced paragraph configurations, and custom typography and color options, all while staying within a maintainable Drupal framework.
The session will also share lessons learned from both the developer and designer perspectives, offering insights into how technical implementation and editorial design can work together to create dynamic content platforms.
