When I have multiple different View-blocks embedded on a page, is it better to have it all in a Panel?

Question

I am building something close to a classifieds/listings site.

I am picking out taxonomy terms from 5 different taxonomies, and presenting them as a grid, inside a block.

I am now left with 5 different view blocks, all of which I have to arrange into position on the home page. To do anything to these blocks, for instance adding a html class to the titles of each of them, I have to resort to less than ideal tricks.

Is there a better/cleaner way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Sometimes panels can be bad for the performance of your site. And it also has lots of additional clutter which may not be of much use to you.

Consider using context module for simple block alignments and context layout for condition based templates.
