can you build amazing drupal sites without a line of custom code? Absolutely!
If you're a solo designer, a small agency or even someone responsible for a Drupal website, getting started with Drupal can be daunting. There's so much you can do with Drupal, it's hard to know where to start. And let's face it - Drupal's Layout Builder out-of-the-box experience isn't great.
This site was built using only Core and Contributed modules. That's right - zero code. You can get this for free... just keep reading. We want to help you in your Drupal Site Building journey and it starts with a pre-configured, ready-to-go Drupal site you can use with the click of your mouse.

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).
