Page builders and blocks

The core blocks are fine for text and images, but your site probably has sections that need more: a pricing table, a team grid, a comparison chart. I build custom Gutenberg blocks for those sections, with a live preview in the editor and only the settings your team actually needs, so a new page looks right without design skills.

Sound familiar?

  • Editors piece together sections from many core blocks and get it wrong
  • Block plugins add dozens of blocks you never use
  • What you see in the editor does not match the live page

What changes

  • 01Sections that always match your design
  • 02An editor that shows what the page will look like
  • 03Fewer plugins, fewer blocks to choose from

What you get

  • Planning which sections should become blocks
  • Custom blocks built with block.json and React
  • Editor preview that matches the front end
  • Simple sidebar settings such as colour, layout and alignment
  • Dynamic blocks that pull in posts, products or custom fields
  • Block styles and variations for common options
  • All blocks packed in one small plugin you own

A great fit for

  • Sites built on the block editor
  • Marketing teams publishing pages often
  • Agencies standardising their block library

Usual stack

  • WordPress
  • React
  • JavaScript

FAQs

A custom Gutenberg block is a section made for your site, such as a pricing table or team grid, that editors add from the WordPress block menu and fill in like any other block.

Yes, when they are built the way I build them. Custom Gutenberg blocks go in their own plugin, separate from the theme, so the content stays in place if the theme changes. Some styling may need adjusting to the new theme.

React blocks give the best editing experience and live preview, while ACF blocks are quicker to build for simple, form-style sections. I recommend one per block based on how your editors will use it.

Yes. I review the existing block code, fix errors such as the block recovery warning, and update old blocks to the current block API when that is needed.
