Our recent update is focused on ‘smoooothing’ out your building experience with tweaks to existing Blocks and Theme Options. More importantly, we are super excited to showcase the NEW Gutenize pre-defined ‘layout’ blocks, so you can build websites even faster! We’ve added a lot more Guten into Gutenize Visual Page Builder and Theme for WordPress 5.
NEW: Gutenize Layouts
Layouts are pre-defined, reusable layouts that will help you build out your site quicker than ever before!
You can find layouts in the normal block selection with a short description of what it is, e.g. ‘3 column product layout’, or ‘Call to action’.
The current available Layouts are just a taste of what’s to come, and we have a comprehensive list of planned ones to roll out in the near future.
We care what you want and can guide us by voting for which Layouts we should build next!
