Transforming Higher Ed Web Platforms with SDC and Storybook
Cheppers CTO Bálint Pekker explores how Drupal’s Single Directory Components (SDC) and Storybook offer a scalable path for modernizing higher education websites. By bundling templates, styles, and logic together, SDC makes components easier to manage and reuse, while Storybook enables teams to preview and test them in isolation—bridging gaps between design and development.
Universities often operate dozens of websites across departments, each with its own approach to layout, functionality, and branding. Without a unified system, this leads to redundant development, inconsistent UX, and rising maintenance costs. Legacy tools like Pattern Lab PHP, once promising, have become barriers to progress as support fades and complexity mounts.
By moving to a centralized, living component library powered by SDC and Storybook, institutions can streamline development, improve accessibility, and regain brand coherence at scale.
