WordPress Gutenberg: Open-Source Page Builder & Editor

An open-source page builder and editor included in WordPress core, allowing users to build pages and posts visually by dragging and dropping blocks of content.

What is Wordpress Gutenberg?

WordPress Gutenberg is an open-source, block-based page builder and post editor that is included in the core installation of WordPress. It was launched in 2018 as a major overhaul of the WordPress editing experience to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.

With Gutenberg, rather than editing content as a single block of text as was done previously, content is divided into individual blocks that can be moved around. This allows for more flexibility and creativity when building pages and posts. Some of the key blocks include paragraphs, headings, images, lists, quotes, audio, video and more custom block types.

A key benefit of Gutenberg is that it enables users to build pages visually, similar to many premium page builders. You can drag and drop blocks into place, edit content visually and rearrange it to your liking. This makes page building much more intuitive compared to the classic text-based WordPress editor.

Since Gutenberg is baked into WordPress core, it comes at no additional cost. It also has a growing library of custom blocks and plugins available to extend its capabilities even further. Overall, Gutenberg aims to simplify WordPress and bridge the gap between free WordPress sites and expensive page builders or website builders.
