How it works

1. Design your block

   First you design your block in the Block Designer with different HTML elements and styles.

   You can define areas where authors can insert images and text in the WordPress Block Editor.

   After you designed your block, you only need to enable and save it.

2. Use your block

   If you enabled and saved your block, you will find your block in the Inserter panel of the WordPress Block Editor.

   Just insert it as you know it from ordinary blocks.

   If you have defined areas for author input, you can add your content now.

   Save your page/post and enjoy your result on your site ??

I am thrilled!

With its intuitive interface and many customizable options, I was able to easily create my own blocks for the Gutenberg editor and make my WordPress website more appealing. The support is fast and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make their WordPress sites more customized. 5 stars!

The best visual custom block creator so far

Martin Sauter September 19, 2022

If you have tried Lazy Blocks or Genesis Custom Blocks and are looking for a more visual way to both create and use custom blocks, this plugin is for you: Creating a custom block is very much like building a post in the Gutenberg block editor (no coding required), and using your custom block is completely WYSIWYG (no form).

Awesome plugin, easy to use!
