ACF vs Gutenberg Blocks: Which Makes Your Site Easy to Update?
Forms or blocks? The editing setup decides whether your team can update the site without a developer. Here is how to choose, what it costs and what to ask.
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.

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.
