The introduction of Gutenberg has made WordPress much easier to use. It is intuitive and straightforward, with nearly 100 blocks for editing content. With every new edition, this block editor improves flexibility and expandability, enabling full site editing and growing its user base.
Because it is a core WordPress feature, many web developers provide Gutenberg support in their products, further improving its functionality. With the emergence of Gutenberg plugins, it is becoming a complete full site builder for beginners and professionals.
We, a company building state-of-art add-ons for Elementor, have now developed a suite of plugins to overcome Gutenberg’s limitations and help users create better sites.
