Gutenberg

Gutenberg is the block editor built into WordPress. It allows you to create your pages and posts visually, using blocks (text, images, videos, buttons, etc.). No more coding, everything is easily built block by block.

These blocks allow you to create a design from A to Z, which is known as FSE (Full Site Editing).

It's simple: with Gutenberg, you can create clean, professional layouts without additional plugins. You gain speed and freedom, and you avoid overloading your site. It's a modern and effective solution for managing your content.

Even if you're not a coder, you can create a harmonious design, from the header to the footer. But of course, if you want support from a Gutenberg expert, our WordPress freelancers are available on this page.

Anyone can use Gutenberg. Whether you're a blogger, freelancer, agency, developer, or business, the editor adapts to your needs. It's simple for beginners, but powerful for those who want to go further.

Whether you want to create a blog (personal or professional), a showcase website to present your business, or an e-commerce store to sell online, you can use Gutenberg.

No, you don't need to do anything. Gutenberg is already integrated into WordPress, so you can use it as soon as you install WordPress without adding anything else.

And it saves you from having to buy a theme or even a page builder like Divi or Elementor, for example.

Is Gutenberg included by default in all recent versions of WordPress?

Since version 5.0, Gutenberg has been the default editor for WordPress. If you have a recent version, it's already there, ready to use.

What is the difference between Gutenberg and the old classic WordPress editor?

The classic editor worked like a simple text field. Gutenberg allows you to build your content block by block, with much more flexibility. It's like switching from a notepad to a real page builder.

Yes, absolutely. The interface is intuitive, and the blocks are easy to use. Even if you're new to WordPress, you can create your pages without any hassle. You don't need to know how to code to get started.

However, if you want to create a theme from scratch and have a beautiful design, a WordPress developer or web designer will be a great help. You can find some above.

Gutenberg already offers quite a few ready-to-use blocks: text, title, image, video, button, gallery, columns, list, quote, table...And you can even add more with extensions if needed.

Yes, and that's one of the big advantages of Gutenberg. With blocks, columns, and groups, you can create advanced structures without touching a line of code. It's simple, fast, and customizable.

Most recent themes are fully compatible with Gutenberg. But to take full advantage of its possibilities, it's best to choose a theme optimized for the block editor.

You can also create your own WordPress theme with Gutenberg. It takes a little longer to create (and it's best to hire a Gutenberg designer, as mentioned above), but you'll end up with a lightweight site that's exactly how you want it.

The WordPress page builder works very well with WooCommerce. You can create product pages, highlights, or customize your store using the blocks offered by WooCommerce.

It's important to understand that most e-commerce sites on WordPress are built with WooCommerce, so compatibility with Gutenberg was clearly a priority for the WordPress developer community.

Yes, you can add columns, grids, and sections very easily in Gutenberg. Just use the "Columns" or "Group" blocks, then drag and drop other blocks inside them to structure your layout as you wish.

By default, Gutenberg does not offer very advanced animations. However, you can use extensions such as Blocksy, Kadence, or Stackable to easily add visual effects and animations without coding.

Yes, there are plenty. You can install extensions such as Kadence Blocks, Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, or Stackable. These plugins add dozens of new blocks to take your designs even further.

Yes, you can save blocks or groups of blocks as reusable templates. This allows you to quickly insert them into other pages without having to redo everything. This is handy if you often use the same sections.

A block is the basic unit in Gutenberg (paragraph, image, button, etc.). A reusable template is a group of blocks that you can save and reuse elsewhere. A page template is a complete layout that you can apply to a new page to save time.

Yes, but only if you use a theme that is compatible with full site editing (such as block themes). In this case, you can customize the header, footer, and even templates using Gutenberg, directly from the site editor.

Gutenberg generates clean, lightweight code, which is good for loading speed and therefore for technical SEO.

But on top of that, the page builder works very well with major SEO plugins such as Yoast or Rank Math.

Gutenberg is fully compatible with translation extensions such as WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress. You can translate your blocks and pages without any problems.

Gutenberg is integrated into WordPress, so it's lighter, faster, and better maintained. It avoids the need to add an external builder. However, it's a little less visually comprehensive than tools like Elementor or Divi, especially for those who like to have advanced effects without plugins.

The main alternatives are Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Bricks. These tools offer more advanced interfaces for creating highly visual pages, but require the addition of a plugin and are sometimes heavier to load.
