In fact, the decision between the two is often simple. While the Block Editor and your favorite page builder may look similar on the surface, there are plenty of inherent differences. This means if you take the time to compare them directly and bring your client’s needs into play, choosing […]

This packs a punch with its block-based system, but it’s still missing many options we’d like to see. As developers put out new block-based plugins, it should become easier to find the ones you need. For now, however, the landscape is a bit bare. In other words, if you want to add specific functionality to the Block Editor, you may need to learn how to create your own blocks. This isn’t too difficult, and you’ll be able to use those blocks to add bespoke […]
