WordPress block-based themes allow you to build and customize your website visually, removing the need for code-based tailoring. Fully integrated with the Site Editor, block themes give an unprecedented level of visual control over the layout and style of your site.  

In this “Build and Beyond” video, Jamie Marsland walks you through everything you need to know about editing, customizing, and designing every element of your WordPress site using blocks in just 250 seconds. You’ll also get a few sneak peeks of some theme-related features coming in WordPress 6.5 (which will be released March 26, 2024!).

    This was helpful! I’d been wanting to move away from the old type of theme to a block theme but it seemed a bit overwhelming to figure out. After watching this video, I decided to take the plunge and gave myself a weekend to play with it and get my head wrapped around a new way of building my site. I’m a small business owner, not a web designer, and after the weekend, I was sold. Thanks for helping me take the plunge.
