I've used Content Blocks before but I felt it was too clunky. UI/UX needs work. And at times, too much. I looked at Structures but it didn't work on 2.7. Fred didn't work on my site either, it came up blank. So I saw this article.

Using this technique, you can build your own content builder that functions very well. You can build your own layouts, fields, etc and use chunks to display them. I find it cleaner and leaner because I have specific needs, that I can build for. It's perfect. Thanks Bruno!
