Build ambitious Drupal sites. No code required.
Two free, ready-to-go starting points: the StarterSite for Layout Builder, and Jarvis for Drupal Canvas. The same training and support stand behind both.
Get Drupal TrainingTwo great choices. Pick the editor you want to work in.
Both give you a fully built Drupal 11 site you can start using today. The difference is how you build pages: with Layout Builder, or with Drupal Canvas.
The StarterSite: Layout Builder
Proven and stable.
- Proven. Layout Builder has been in Drupal core for years and is rock solid.
- Familiar. Your team already knows it, or your existing sites use it.
- Flexible styling. Built on the mature DXPR theme, with lots of options.
- Well documented. Years of docs, videos and community answers.
- Fully configured. Media, workflow, webforms and SEO are set up for you.
Best if your team already uses Layout Builder, or you are adding to existing Drupal 10 or 11 sites.
Jarvis: Drupal Canvas
Modern and visual.
- Where Drupal is heading. Canvas is the new visual page builder.
- True drag and drop. Edit the page itself with a live preview.
- Consistent by design. Reusable Single Directory Components.
- Accessible by default. Contrast checks, keyboard menus and captions.
- One-step install. A single recipe, and ready for Drupal AI.
Best if you are starting a new site and want it to stay current for years.

How Long Does It Take to Move a Layout Builder Site to Drupal Canvas? I Timed My Own.
Yes, you can move a Layout Builder site to Drupal Canvas, and it's faster than most people expect. I moved DrupalHelps.com, with 60 posts, 16 Layout Builder pages and 264 media items, and the first complete working copy took about 40 minutes of build time. Here's how the move worked, what took longer than the move itself, and what decides how long yours will take.

Do you want to save 10-20 hours just getting a site started?
I built this site using my own StarterSite (It's not a Drupal Recipe - it's just what I call it) that implements a fully configured content editing, digital asset managment system, and page layout experience.
There is NO CUSTOM CODE on this site - except for some CSS (which I don't consider to be code).
