Sobki transforms the power of Drupal into a structured no-code approach. Contributor autonomy, technical performance, and sustainable Drupal projects, all driven by Smile's expertise.

Sobki was born from a simple observation: Drupal is one of the most powerful CMSs on the market, but its potential is often hampered by its complexity. Sobki transforms this power into an accessible advantage. Thanks to a structured no-code approach, it allows for the rapid design of Drupal sites , using reusable components and well-defined content models. Contributors gain autonomy, project teams become more efficient, and sites remain robust, maintainable, and scalable. Sobki doesn't just simplify Drupal superficially; it organizes its use to meet the real needs of organizations.

Smile & Sobki

Sobki is the result of Smile's long-standing expertise in Drupal and its close ties to business and technical teams. Designed by Drupal experts, Sobki leverages years of complex projects, user feedback, and best practices. Smile envisioned Sobki as an accelerator: a reliable, ready-to-use foundation that secures projects from the outset. This approach makes it possible to reconcile innovation, accessibility, performance, and industrialization, while still allowing for custom development when needed.

Creating Drupal websites: the balance between business autonomy and technical expertise

On a Sobki project, contributors can independently create and develop pages without writing code, thanks to predefined components and clear construction rules. Developers, on the other hand, focus on the high-value components: integration, performance, interconnections, and business functionalities. The result: shorter production cycles, better collaboration between technical and non-technical profiles, and Drupal sites capable of evolving over time without requiring a fundamental redesign of their architecture.

Try Sobki immediately on Drupal Forge

Sobki can be tested immediately on Drupal Forge, without any prior installation or configuration. Drupal Forge is directly based on the Drupal open-source ecosystem: each month, the platform retrieves the code available on drupal.org to provide an up-to-date and faithful version of the project. In just a few clicks, you can access a fully functional Drupal environment and discover Sobki as it is actually used. This version allows you to freely explore no-code features, manipulate more than 20 ready-to-use blocks available immediately upon installation, and gain a concrete understanding of the structure of content and components, without any technical constraints for either contributors or developers.
