Builder Basics: Designing with Columns, Group, and Row Blocks

In this social learning space, we’ll explore how to design layouts using the Columns, Group, and Row blocks. These blocks represent the fundamental building blocks of every WordPress website. You’ll learn the nuances of each block type and how to configure them correctly. Join us for an interactive presentation followed by a group Q&A.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the differences between the Columns, Group, and Row blocks
• Understand when to use each block to achieve a specific layout
• Understand the different settings available on each block
• Feel comfortable designing layouts in both the Editor and Site Editor with these blocks

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’ll 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 and require virtually no coding.
