Description
Blocksify is a performance-first Gutenberg block library by PressMaximum. Build responsive layouts, dynamic content, forms, and WooCommerce templates while loading only the assets each page needs.
Features
- 32 block types in 1.0.0 — 20 top-level blocks plus 12 supporting child and field types, grouped below.
- Layout and content — Section, Container, Content Loop, Gallery, Accordion, Tabs, Icon List, Marquee, and essential content blocks; structural child blocks are included in the total.
- Form set — Form plus nine field types for inputs, choices, consent, reCAPTCHA, and submission, with validation, spam protection, email actions, styled messages, and redirects.
- WooCommerce set — seven dedicated product blocks for price, rating, meta, stock, add-to-cart, additional information, and reviews when WooCommerce is active, plus Product Media and Product Tabs integrations and product-loop presets.
- Reusable design workflow — Style Classes, Hover Mode, condition-aware template previews, Dynamic Data, and a live Design Library with one-click media import.
- 10-trait styling system — color, background, spacing, border and shadow, size, overflow, position, z-index, visibility, and typography, with consistent controls and built-in presets where appropriate.
- Global design tokens — custom color and gradient palettes, built-in spacing and font-size scales, and a shadow library, emitted as reusable CSS variables at
:root. - Responsive controls — desktop, tablet, mobile, and hover layers with predictable cascading.
- Lean frontend — per-block asset loading, one pooled per-page stylesheet, vanilla CSS, no jQuery, and no frontend JavaScript for layout blocks.
- Update-friendly rendering — runtime-rendered block markup can evolve without WordPress block-validation errors in saved posts.
