Drupal paragraph-based website redesign for Edenred Poland

Edenred Poland, part of the global Edenred group headquartered in France, needed to modernize their Drupal-based website that had become practically unusable for the marketing team.

Instead of a costly rebuild from scratch, Droptica proposed a paragraph-based approach — creating a set of universal, editable page components that the client could independently arrange and modify.

The result? A ~24% increase in conversions on the first redesigned page, a marketing team creating new landing pages without developer help, and most importantly — restored trust in Drupal and a decision to keep investing in the platform.

The Challenge: An unusable Drupal website

Edenred Polska ran a Drupal website — the technology mandated by their French headquarters. The site served three user groups: prospective clients (companies looking to purchase gift and benefit cards), cardholders (people using Edenred cards), and merchants (businesses accepting Edenred cards).

Although the site technically had Drupal Paragraphs installed, the implementation was fundamentally flawed. Content managers couldn't edit even basic text on the site — every change required a ticket to the technical team.

The marketing team found a workaround: they started pasting ready-made graphics instead of editable text. This led to serious problems — no responsiveness across devices, poor SEO as search engines couldn't index image-based content, low display quality, and a rigid structure that couldn't be quickly updated.

Frustration and the plan to leave Drupal

The team's frustration reached a breaking point. Edenred decided to completely abandon Drupal and build a new website from scratch on a different technology. In their RFP for the new site, Drupal wasn't even listed as an option.

A different perspective from Droptica

Rather than executing a costly migration to another platform, Droptica proposed an alternative: unlock Drupal's full potential through a proper paragraph-based implementation. The idea was to build universal, editable components that the client could use to assemble any page on their own.

The Solution: Universal paragraphs instead of a full rebuild

The project followed a structured, collaborative approach:

  • Discovery sessions — a series of meetings to understand the client's needs and how they communicate their products
  • Briefing & analysis — Edenred shared detailed briefs showing how they wanted to present their offerings
  • Design with variants — the design team prepared each paragraph in 3–4 color variants, giving the client extra flexibility
  • Implementation — paragraphs were coded with full responsiveness, including dedicated mobile versions
  • Deployment & handover — the client received the finished toolset on a staging environment to explore independently

Proper Drupal Paragraphs

Universal paragraph components that could be freely rearranged, filled with custom content, and styled with 3–4 color variants — all from the admin panel. The client quickly discovered these components could be repurposed creatively for webinars, events, and more.

Full responsive & SEO-friendly

Every paragraph was designed and coded with a dedicated mobile version. The shift from graphics to editable text brought immediate SEO benefits: proper heading structure, faster page loads, and full search engine indexability.

Full content editability — no developer needed

After the implementation, Edenred's content managers could independently:

  • Create entirely new pages from existing paragraphs
  • Edit all content without engaging developers
  • Quickly update product information
  • Manage landing pages directly from the admin panel

The modernized admin interface (Gin theme) made the editor so intuitive that no training was needed — the team explored the staging environment on their own and started using the system in production right away.

Business Results

~24% conversion uplift

On the first redesigned page — a gift card landing page launched during the holiday season — conversions increased by approximately 24%.

6–9 new paragraphs ordered

Following the success of the initial rollout, Edenred immediately commissioned additional paragraph components to expand their page-building toolkit.

Migration plans abandoned

Edenred not only stayed on Drupal but became an enthusiastic advocate for the platform — cancelling their planned migration to a different CMS.

From abandoning Drupal to championing it

The client's attitude shifted fundamentally. From a company planning to abandon Drupal entirely, Edenred became a partner who regularly commissions new components, thinks about paragraph universality, and plans further stages of site development. Their marketing team now independently creates landing pages using the component library.

A new collaboration model

Before the project, Edenred ordered one-off fixes. After the paragraph rollout, the model evolved: the client now orders new components (not finished pages), thinks about universality of each new paragraph, and the marketing team builds landing pages independently.

A cascading success

The success of the paragraph approach with Edenred was replicated with another Droptica client who also planned to leave Drupal and build from scratch. Droptica could reference this concrete case study to convince them of the same approach — with equally positive results.

Is your Drupal site underperforming?

If your team struggles with an inflexible Drupal implementation, a paragraph-based redesign might be the answer — faster, cheaper, and more effective than a full rebuild.
