Matrix Builder – Modular Content Blocks for Craft CMS | CraftCMS Lazy

Block Text

The Matrix Builder is a visual demonstration of how Craft CMS handles flexible, component-based content through Matrix fields.

It shows how editors can create rich page layouts by combining different “blocks” — such as text, images, quotes, buttons, or call-to-action elements — without writing any code. Each block is powered by a reusable Twig component with consistent markup and a shared design system, making it easy for developers to maintain, extend, and customize.

What makes this setup especially powerful is that every component can be placed anywhere within the custom CSS Grid layout, using named grid areas like content, popout, feature, or full. This gives editors complete control over structure and visual hierarchy while developers retain full semantic and performance control.

Block Accordion

The Matrix Builder is a flexible content module in Craft CMS that allows you to create structured layouts using reusable components. Instead of rigid templates, you can freely combine text, images, galleries, call-to-actions, or videos. This approach gives editors creative freedom while maintaining clean, semantic HTML and consistent design.

The Matrix Builder comes with ready-to-use components like headline-text blocks, images, sliders, accordions, quotes, links, and FAQs. Each block is built on centralized Twig templates, making your content scalable, responsive, and easy to maintain — ideal for modern websites and professional content strategies.

Matrix-based editing separates content from layout, giving editors structured building blocks. This results in consistent design, better SEO performance, and more control over accessibility and UX. Unlike typical WYSIWYG editors, the output remains lightweight, semantic, and easy to optimize.
