Builder Basics: Designing Advanced Layouts with Core Blocks
Details
WordPress is changing rapidly and with each release of Core and Gutenberg, blocks become more and more powerful. Many of the layouts that you can design today were not even possible a few months ago!
During this workshop, we will design three unique block layouts using only Core blocks that utilize some of the latest functionality available in WordPress 6.0 and Gutenberg 13.6. There will be ample time for questions and we will also discuss enhancements that are planned for 6.1.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the differences between the Columns, Group, Row, and Stack blocks
- Understand how layout and dimensions work in the Editor
- Understand the different settings available on each block discussed
- Feel comfortable designing layouts in both the Editor and Site Editor with these blocks
- Learn tips and tricks that you can apply in your own block layouts
What is Builder Basics?
The WordPress Editor is a blank canvas that allows us to express our creativity and design beautiful layouts using blocks. However, building with blocks is a paradigm shift to traditional website design. Sometimes it can be challenging to know where to start, especially in the context of Full Site Editing.
In the “Builder Basics” series, we will attempt to demystify components of the building experience. From a deep dive into the Query block to an exploration of block alignment and spacing, you’ll learn to master the basics of modern WordPress design. While some familiarity with the Editor is recommended, these sessions are designed for all skill levels.
