Over the past few months, our team has been hard at work enhancing user experience and expanding functionality of the block editor theme.
Status Update
This project is currently in the Development Phase, which started on July 16, 2024. As of October, we’ve completed the design and development of a few more Gutenberg blocks:
- UW link – allows users to add a stylized call-to-action link to their layouts.
- Accordion – this includes a redesign of the existing Accordion Panels page element.
- Stylized quote – allows users to add a pull quote or block quote to the page.
- Cover block – we used this block to create some banner and hero pattern layouts.
We have also started development of a Settings UI that will replace the traditional WordPress Customizer settings page, and are currently finishing the development of the theme’s Header area (top menu, site title, and main navigation) and Footer.
Over the next month, we hope to finish the header, footer, and Settings UI page. We also intend to finalize development of some new blocks, like a block that allows users to add a group of related links that guide users to relevant content.
