Designing for WordPress Site Editor

Design often influences development. In this handbook, we will look at site editor, a relatively new feature (introduced in WordPress v5.9), and block-based themes from a design perspective. Our goal is not to curtail designers’ creativity but provide them with a guide on how to approach block-based theme designs and ultimately make decisions that not only look good but are usable and translate well to code.

Our team follows this same approach in our enterprise WordPress design services.
