tag: Netgen Layouts

New Netgen Layouts bring much-wanted features, such as scheduled block items, change layout type, and more – here’s what’s new.

After several early adopters launched their first websites based on Netgen Layouts at the end of 2017, it was a perfect time to speak to them about their experience using our product – what they liked and what they thought we should improve.

We've been building tailored solutions for our clients for years. It's always great to see our solution put to use, but a quite different experience is creating a new generic product and proving its value in real life projects.

After implementing translations capabilities in the Netgen Layouts 0.9, it was time to deal with several medium-sized and numerous smaller features that were needed on ours and the projects of our early adopters. Here's the version 0.10.

With every new release come many small improvements, although we usually focus on one big theme. In this case, translating layouts. At the same time, what emerged as a developer experience improvement was the block plugin feature.

When we started to build Netgen Layouts, we set before ourselves two main requirements: to use Symfony as the baseline and to make the interface for the page layout management more powerful and easier to use. However, as the development progressed, the main idea about Layouts grew with it. The release of the version 0.8 is another big step towards its realization.
