Gutenberg WordPress development. Built on core.

Yes. The Gutenberg editor is built in React, and custom blocks are built using React and WordPress’s block API (the @wordpress/blocks and @wordpress/block-editor packages). The save function can output static HTML, but the edit function, what the editor sees while building, is a React component. A developer who knows PHP and jQuery can learn Gutenberg block development, but it requires modern JavaScript knowledge. This is one reason Elementor remains popular for agencies without React developers on staff.

Full Site Editing (FSE) extends the block editor to cover the entire page, including headers, footers, sidebars, and archive templates, not just the content area. With FSE, editors can modify global site elements without a theme customizer or separate options panel. Whether you need it depends on how much control you want to give editors over layout. For sites where only the content area changes, FSE may be more than needed. For sites where multiple editors maintain different sections of the site’s global layout, FSE provides useful granular control.

Technically yes, Elementor and Gutenberg can coexist. In practice, we recommend choosing one for page editing and sticking with it. Mixing creates confusion for editors who have to know which editor to use for which page, creates inconsistent design output, and can cause conflicts. If you want the performance benefits of Gutenberg for most content but need Elementor for specific complex pages, we can configure that, but we’ll document the editorial workflow clearly so your team doesn’t accidentally edit an Elementor page in the wrong editor.

It depends on how many custom blocks and patterns you need, quoted as a fixed price after scoping. Simple block sets are affordable; full site editing systems cost more. You approve the number before work begins.

Gutenberg is native to WordPress, so it’s lighter, faster, and free of the extra overhead builders add. For teams that value performance and durability, native blocks avoid lock-in to a third-party plugin.

Yes. We build tailored blocks and patterns that match your brand and content types, so editors assemble on-brand pages from reusable pieces without breaking the design or touching code.

Yes. Because it outputs clean, lightweight markup without a builder’s extra assets, Gutenberg tends to load faster, which helps Core Web Vitals and rankings. We optimize further with images, caching, and lean code.

Yes. We migrate content out of a builder like Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery into native blocks, removing the plugin overhead. The result is usually a faster, cleaner, more maintainable site.

Yes, especially with custom blocks and patterns tailored to your content. We set up a guided editing experience and provide training, so your team publishes confidently without design mishaps.

Yes. When the editor is slow, blocks conflict, or editors scroll past dozens of blocks they never use, we lock down the block library, remove editor noise and tune the editing experience to your content types.
