Your team describes what they need. The AI builds it, writes it, illustrates it. Then they make it theirs. ### Generate a page from a sentence. Describe what you need. A complete, working page assembles in seconds: sections, layout, copy. Long-form too, with 1,000+ word articles with structure and web research. ### Clone any page on the web. Type `clone` and the page you envy is rebuilt with your elements, in your brand, ready to edit. Competitive response, measured in minutes. ## Speed is safe when the guardrails are built in. AI without anxiety: locked regions, role-based element access, approved templates, brand tone governed by Drupal taxonomy, every change revisioned and reversible. ### Brand tone, governed by Drupal taxonomy. Tone presets per audience and channel live as taxonomy terms, so every generated word follows the rules your team already maintains in Drupal. ### Publish it once. It keeps getting better. One click turns any element into a self-optimizing test. Reinforcement learning watches clicks, engagement and dwell time, and routes traffic to the winner while your team sleeps. **No other page builder has this, on any CMS.** - **Locked regions**Editors change what they may, nothing else. - **Role-based elements**Limit which elements each Drupal role can use. - **Approved templates**Start from what the brand team signed off. - **Governed tone**Tone of voice managed as Drupal taxonomy. - **Revisioned**Every change reversible through Drupal revisions. ## Edit your pages through conversation. [Explore AI page building →](/ai) Open Chat mode and tell your page what to change. The AI agent understands context, follows multi-step instructions, and executes edits across sections, so you stay in creative flow instead of clicking through menus. ## Innovate or evaporate. AI-speed marketing isn't coming, it's here, and it doesn't wait for your ticket queue. The teams that ship daily are taking the audiences of the teams that file tickets. ## DXPR Builder vs Drupal Canvas.

No, the two work together. DXPR Builder runs as a formatter on a text field, so you can place a DXPR Builder field inside your existing Layout Builder layout. Layout Builder keeps control of the overall page structure while editors build visually inside the field. [Compare DXPR Builder and Layout Builder.](/compare-dxpr/drupal-layout-builder) ## How is DXPR Builder different from Drupal Canvas? Canvas is a contributed visual builder that assembles pages from a component library, typically built and maintained by developers. DXPR Builder comes with ready-to-use page elements, so marketers can start on day one, and it works alongside your existing Layout Builder pages. Canvas documents one shared layout across translations; DXPR Builder lets each language have its own. [Read the full Canvas comparison.](/compare-dxpr/drupal-canvas) ## Which Drupal versions and themes does DXPR Builder support? DXPR Builder supports Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 and needs no core patches. It works with any theme, including your current one, and pairs well with the free DXPR Theme. Install it with Composer like any other Drupal module. [Download DXPR Builder](https://www.drupal.org/project/dxpr_builder). ## Is DXPR Builder free? Yes, for small websites. DXPR Builder and AI are free on the Personal plan, with no card and no time limit. Choose a paid plan when you need more capacity or team support. [View free plan details and paid options.](/pricing) ## What happens to our pages if we stop using DXPR? Your pages stay live. DXPR Builder stores content as standard Bootstrap HTML in your Drupal fields, and displaying a page does not depend on your subscription. If you cancel, pages stay published and remain editable as HTML in Drupal. The content stays in your database even if you uninstall the module. ## Is the HTML that DXPR Builder produces accessible? DXPR Builder writes standard Bootstrap 5 HTML. Text uses real heading levels and lists, tabs and collapsibles carry ARIA roles and states, and image elements have an alt text field. Accessibility of a published page still depends on your content, colors and theme, so include an accessibility check in your review process. ## Can each language have its own page layout? Yes. DXPR Builder works with Drupal’s content translation, and each translation has its own DXPR Builder content. Regional teams can adapt text, images and layout for their market, including right-to-left languages, and AI can draft translations for review. [Explore multilingual Drupal.](/localization) ## Which AI models power DXPR Builder, and can we turn AI off? DXPR Builder’s AI runs on DXPR’s Kavya models, which route requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral AI or xAI; an EU model routes text to Mistral AI in France. Administrators can set the provider order, limit which models editors may use, and switch AI features off. The visual editor works without AI.
