If you're a content writer or digital marketing professional, you really know what the struggle is like. You have wonderful ideas for your website, but as soon as you log into your CMS, you're met with a confusing maze of technical jargon and unintuitive interfaces. This is a problem many of you face, especially if you work with an outdated system like Drupal. Although Drupal is powerful, its backend is often created by developers for developers, making you feel like you need a PhD in computer science just to upload a blog post.
At Griddo, we believe content editors should have the freedom to create, without the frustration of having to fight with their tools. We've built our platform with you, the everyday user, the author, in mind. Let's see how the Griddo experience directly addresses the frustrations that arise in a system like Drupal.
Day-to-Day: Griddo vs. Drupal
The Drupal Experience
- The Learning Curve: A single task, like adding a new page, can involve navigating terms like "nodes," "taxonomies," and "display modes" that mean nothing to a content creator. This is not only confusing but also a huge waste of time.
- The IT Bottleneck: Need to change something on the homepage? In a traditional Drupal setup, this often requires submitting a request to the IT department. This slow, manual process leaves your content outdated and your team feeling powerless.
- Too Complicated: The backend is often a mess of fields and options, making it difficult to find what you actually need. All that visual noise causes decision fatigue.
Griddo's Superpowers:
- Intuitive, User-Friendly Interface: Griddo uses a visual editor that lets you easily add, move, configure, and delete content modules. No need to understand technical jargon, just focus on the content. Plus, Griddo Live Preview enhances the "what you see is what you get" experience by letting you see the final result while you work.
