– Reduce the bloat and speed up your site
Don’t slow down your website forcing visitors to download an additional website builder.
Gutenberg is built into WordPress and Blocksolid is super-lightweight too.
Blocksolid doesn’t add any new blocks to Gutenberg, it enhances the built-in blocks.
– Make Gutenberg easier
Blocksolid provides an overlay for Gutenberg when editing pages which can be switched on and off.
Blocksolid adds visible edges to your blocks in the editor to let you see what you are doing.
Note that all features can be switched toggled off and on.
Use Gutenberg’s built-in Columns block to lay out your pages.
During editing Blocksolid makes Columns and Rows stand out and adds “handles” to streamline layout control.
“Handles” are tabs visible during editing that allow you to select rows and columns without having to click with the breadcrumb trail. Rows have a handle at the top left, and columns at the bottom left.
Blocksolid’s enhancements to the built-in Gutenberg Columns block allow you to easily manage margins and padding in your layout, putting your page elements exactly where you want them.
You can set your own standard metrics for each spacing and the pick from these each time. You no longer have to type in individual spacings on every column and row – control your layout with a click. Spacings are based upon classes rather than inline styles which means leaner, cleaner code.
Unlike other website builders, Gutenberg allows you to nest rows and columns to any level, allowing you to get exactly the result you want.
Added a limited ability to clone pages with their Visual Composer / WP Bakery shortcodes converted to Gutenberg blocks. Pages are copied and converted, the originals are preserved.
By default Gutenberg gives website editors unrestricted access to any color or gradient combination that they like. In no time at all this level of freedom can and will make a well thought out website look like a technicolor mess.
As the administrator Blocksolid allows you to set your own restricted palette for your site editors to use and also exposes this as named CSS variables that you can use in your theme’s styles.
If you need a website that has a central content area but want your row background colors to stretch to the edges of the screen Blocksolid has you covered.
You can create a list of style classes and then select these from a simple ticklist to style your rows and columns.
You can freely install and uninstall Blocksolid and keep on using Gutenberg. Blocksolid’s enhancements are based upon CSS classes, even the spacings, so you can continue to use these classes in your theme for layout.
Blocksolid allows you to export its settings including the controlled palette and import them on another site using Blocksolid for fast setup.
The following websites were all built recently using Blocksolid:
