Description
The Gutenberg editor in WordPress is an absolute game changer. For users, it provides them an easy way to build out the content on their site in new and exciting ways. And, for developers, it's a powerful tool that can be used to provide clients custom blocks to match their every need.
I don't know about you, but JavaScript is still outside of my comfort zone. So, when WordPress made the switch to the block editor (formerly called Gutenberg), I was really concerned about how it would limit my ability to build the things I need to build for myself and for my clients. But, once I found a way to build custom blocks without the need for JavaScript, I was very excited!
In this course, I'll walk you through the process of building custom blocks in WordPress without writing a single line of JavaScript.
The course will cover:
- What you need for local development
- Creating your first block
- Styling your blocks
- Adding custom fields to your blocks
- Rendering your blocks
- Building blocks with images
- Adding repeater fields to your blocks
- Customizations to make your blocks stand out
- How to add inner blocks to your blocks.

I've been building things on the internet for over 25 years. For the past 17 years, I've been focused completely on WordPress. From small personal websites to incredibly intricate custom builds, I've done a bit of everything.
When I'm not behind the keyboard developing, I can often be found at WordPress meetups where I teach others how to use WordPress to build their business.
