What it does
Building pages in the block editor from scratch takes time, and keeping a consistent look across a site gets harder when several people are editing. This plugin gives you more than 15 additional blocks, over 50 full-page layouts and 130+ sections, so you can start a page from a ready design and adjust it instead of assembling every element by hand. Sections cover common needs such as hero areas, testimonials, calls to action and pricing tables.
It works inside the Gutenberg editor you already use, with a layout selector for picking and switching page structures. You can save your own sections and layouts into a personal library and reuse them on later pages or projects. Role-based editing permissions let you decide who can change specific blocks, sections or layouts, which helps teams protect a site's look. It is built to complement the Genesis Framework and is AMP optimized.
Best for
- Sites built on the Genesis Framework
- Agencies and teams managing brand consistency across editors
- Gutenberg users who want ready-made layouts and sections
