Build Better WordPress Sites with Full Site Editing: Twenty Twenty-Five + Ollie

Join us for the next Vegas WordPress Meetup on June 16th 6pm at Corporate Coworking (entrance from the back door) for a fun, relaxed session open to all skill levels—whether you’re just getting started or have been building sites for years.
This time, John Hawkins will present:

## Build Better WordPress Sites with Full Site Editing: Twenty Twenty-Five + Ollie

WordPress has changed a lot over the last few years, and Full Site Editing is one of the biggest shifts in how we build, customize, and manage WordPress websites.
In this meetup, we’ll take a practical, hands-on look at Full Site Editing using two modern block themes: Twenty Twenty-Five, the official WordPress default theme, and Ollie, a popular block theme built around patterns, global styles, and faster site building.
We’ll explore how the Site Editor works, how templates and template parts fit together, how global styles can control typography and colors across a site, and how block patterns can speed up the design process without relying on heavy page builder plugins.
This session is for WordPress users, designers, developers, freelancers, agency owners, content editors, and anyone curious about the future of WordPress site building. Whether you are still using classic themes, experimenting with block themes, or wondering if Full Site Editing is ready for real client work, this meetup will give you a clearer understanding of what is possible today.
We’ll cover:

• What Full Site Editing is and why it matters
• How block themes differ from classic WordPress themes
• Using the Twenty Twenty-Five theme to understand the WordPress-native FSE experience
• Using Ollie to see how modern block themes can improve workflow
• Templates, template parts, global styles, and patterns
• Practical pros and cons of building with FSE
• When Full Site Editing makes sense — and when it may not
• Open discussion, questions, and shared experiences from the group

The goal is not just to watch a demo, but to have a real conversation about how WordPress is evolving and how we can use these tools in practical, professional, and sustainable ways.
Bring your questions, your opinions, your curiosity, and your WordPress war stories.
