# 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](https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-5-9/)), 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](https://rtcamp.com/enterprise-wordpress-design/).
