Features
Great Editor Experience
A great editor experience is at the center of Blueprint: you’ll be able to create pages, resources and blog posts using a friendly but powerful editor.
As an editor, you will have the same flexibility and ease of use for all the content you create: pages, blog posts, profiles, resources and resource collections.
Resource Center
Your visitors will find all of your resources, in a single place, through an easy-to-use interface. For you, publishing will be a breeze.
The Resource Center is a feature of Blueprint that allows you to store, categorize and group any kinds of files you want to publish. Depending on your case, these files may be PDF documents or eBooks, images, press kits, raw data, GIS data or something else entirely.
Collections are part of the Resource Center by default; they let you group resources and present them to your visitors in a cohesive way.
Blog
A blog doesn’t need much introduction.
In Blueprint, it comes with tagging and it’s integrated with the site-wide search. You can embed blog posts anywhere else in the site, and the tools you’ll use to create posts are the same used to author resources and pages. Learn once, use everywhere.
Multilingual
Write your content once; translate to 29 languages with a few clicks. C'est assez impressionnant .
All the content in Blueprint is translatable through an easy interface, in minutes, thanks to the DeepL integration. The multilingual capabilities of Drupal are present as well in case you would rather translate your content in-house.
Accessible
Accessibility is not an afterthought in Blueprint.
By default and from the beginning of the project, your site will meet level A of the WCAG 2.0 standard. Level AA success criteria 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and 1.4.5, related to contrast and text will also be met. Higher levels of accessibility can be achieved with your help.
Open Source
$0 in licenses, forever. No vendor lock-in.
Blueprint is 100% open source software based on Drupal. Your site is yours, and it’s not limited by any licensing model. Since it's based on open source code, any Drupal shop can help you maintain and modify it in the future, if you chose to go with another vendor.
Responsive
Mobile device — and all devices — friendly
Blueprint works seamlessly on screen sizes from phone to large monitor, on touch and non-touch devices. Your audience will enjoy a cohesive experience anywhere.
SEO-friendly
Search engine optimization tools and social media metadata are part of Blueprint by default. You’ll have controls to add Twitter cards, Facebook images, descriptions and provide metadata for SEO.
Fast
Your visitors won’t have to wait for a slow site to load, and search engines such as Google will not penalize your content for being slow.
Secure
Blueprint is based on Drupal, whose security team constantly reviews potential security issues and acts in collaboration with maintainers to fix them before they become a problem.
GDPR ready
The Blueprint core includes a GDPR compliance module that displays a customizable cookie banner.
Room to Grow
Blueprint is a powerful starting point but you may need more.
There’s a good chance that you’ll need your site to send constituent data to your CRM, integrate with donation platforms or host a custom database. All of this, and more, is possible in a Blueprint project. Blueprint is built on Drupal, a powerful content management system used by ambitious organizations such as IUCN, The Rainforest Alliance, the ACLU and IPPF. Drupal makes it easy to integrate with third-party systems securely and build custom tools.
