Composition
Blockstudio brings together the best of both worlds to create native WordPress blocks. React features inside the editor and plain server side rendered PHP for the frontend.
All inside the same file, without a build step.
<div useBlockProps class="container"> <RichText class="text-xl font-semibold" tag="h1" attribute="richtext" placeholder="Enter headline" /> <InnerBlocks class="mt-4 p-4 border" /> </div>

Editor
The world of blocks at your fingertips.
The Blockstudio editor is the next evolution in WordPress block development. It further reduces the barrier of editing blocks and brings a loved and well known code interface (Visual Code Studio via Monaco) to the WordPress admin area.
Testimonials
What others are saying:
Finding the balance between using native Gutenberg blocks and still achieving high level, advanced and complex layouts which clients can edit can be a challenge. Blockstudio lowers the barrier to entry for creating Gutenberg blocks by making use of ACF and Metabox functions in an easy to use system. It's as simple as creating a folder, adding a PHP file and defining your block. The possibilities are limitless.
Taylor Drayson
I've been using Blockstudio to build custom Gutenberg blocks for a few months, on both my personal site alongside several client projects. It makes creating blocks incredibly easy and really cuts out on dev time. I love that it works alongside ACF and Metabox as we use both, depending on project requirements. As Gutenberg grows, we're pivoting more towards blocks and away from custom themes and builders - Blockstudio is the enabler for that transition.
