Mercury Editor

Mercury Editor™ offers an alternative content authoring experience and page builder, replacing the “Add Content” and “Edit Content” forms in Drupal. With Mercury, the content edit form is moved into a resizable offcanvas tray along the right side of the screen, and a live, interactive preview is rendered on the left. Any Layout Paragraphs fields enabled for a content type will be rendered in the “Builder” mode – providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get page builder for content creators.

Mercury Editor™ Features

• Create complex layouts in seconds with Mercury’s easy-to-use page builder.
• Drag-and-drop custom components to build flexible, visually compelling landing pages.
• Allow content authors to select pre-built templates, enhancing the efficiency of the page building experience for non-technical users.
• Instantly preview your work for mobile and tablet devices.
• Control which components can be used in specific contexts, ensuring content authors work within established design and editorial guidelines.
• Unlike many of its competitors, Mercury Editor is free software with no licensing or ongoing subscription costs.
