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 and require virtually no coding.
