Drag&drop interface provides easy layout and block management, without losing extensibility for your complex web projects.
By utilizing a collection of reusable blocks and style standards guiding the use of those blocks, you will be able to build and maintain various types of sites in a more agile way. Even more, you can show different pages for different user context, automate content visibility and so on.
Netgen Layouts is a layer in your web stack, a Symfony full-stack application that can be integrated with other Symfony apps (such as eZ Platform CMS or Sylius eCommerce) or used independently with headless information systems (such as Contentful CMS). It renders web pages based on layouts arranged by "site builders".
Once the blocks are designed and implemented within Layouts, it becomes easy, even fun, to assemble your web site. Considering frequent changes needed in a long life-cycle of the site, uncomplicated layout and block management become even more important and valuable.
With Layouts, many tasks which usually need developers can be done by site builders and power editors. Rearranging blocks and content of existing pages, creating new pages, showing different layout based on user context, etc. become easy tasks done in minutes.
We are strong believers in using and contributing to open-source. It adds to higher software quality, encourages innovation and grows communities. Hence the core and biggest part of Layouts is licensed under MIT and ready to be used in any project. On the other hand complex web projects (e.g. having high traffic or bigger editorial teams) need special features and support, therefore we offer the Enterprise version under commercial licensing.

A key point: You can back Layouts with multiple repositories, so it becomes a mash-up presentation manager for an aggregated content warehouse.

With the latest versions of Layouts, we are 3 times faster on starting a project as we can define already the template architecture and structures with very few clicks. (...) As far as we can see, no other CMS has this level of flexibility and simplicity out of the box.

The architecture of Netgen Layouts, which clearly separates content and design in block configurations, helped us figure out similarities and common features of the many visual elements we had to implement. Thereby we were able to reduce the amount of code and the number of blocks required to achieve the intended results.
