## Start with the page your team needs to make.

A product launch asks more of an editor than a text update. Look at how authors build the layout, adapt it for mobile and refine the message.

### When DXPR fits

Choose DXPR when marketers need ready-to-use layout and content elements, inline editing and AI assistance in one visual page-building experience.

### When Gutenberg fits

Consider Gutenberg when your team prefers its block-editing approach. The Drupal module supports reusable blocks, Drupal blocks and configurable restrictions on editing flexibility.

## Let the author work on the page.

Headlines, links and layout changes belong in the same working session. DXPR combines direct visual editing with reusable page elements, so marketers can keep shaping the campaign as the brief evolves.

Try changing a heading, adding a call to action and adjusting a section. The useful comparison is how confidently your authors can finish that work.

## Compare them on a real piece of work.

Bring an author, a platform owner and one page you actually need to publish.

1. ### Build the same campaign

    Use the same brief, content and design in each editor. Include a hero, a two-column section and a clear call to action.
2. ### Make the late change

    Ask an author to shorten the heading, move a section and review the mobile result.
3. ### Prepare the handover

    Save the useful parts for reuse and check what a second author can change without developer help.

## Before you decide.

## Does choosing DXPR mean changing our whole website?

No. Enable DXPR Builder for the content fields where you need it. Plan the move of existing Gutenberg-authored pages separately; installing DXPR Builder does not automatically convert their block structure.

## Is Gutenberg only for simple text?

No. Its Drupal project documents landing-page authoring, reusable blocks and fixed layouts. Compare the actual configured experience with your campaign requirements.

## Can our authors use AI and still edit manually?

Yes. DXPR’s generated content remains editable in DXPR Builder. Authors can move between AI assistance and direct visual editing. [Explore Drupal AI.](/ai)
