You get the extra blocks you need and the layout and design functionality for a true page builder experience.

Use the exceptional Row and Columns blocks to add dynamically generated content areas with specific responsive margin and padding settings that only CoBlocks provides.

Style these with innovative new blocks such as the Shape Divider, which lets you split up your content with beautiful dividers.

Each of the WordPress blocks within CoBlocks have been precisely fined tuned to offer a familiar, yet powerful, customization experience. Tailor each block to your taste using our custom controls and settings. Change fonts, set margin and padding, pick colors and more.

Custom Typography Controls

The breakthrough Typography Control Panel within CoBlocks lets you design web pages with alluring typographic elements. Set fonts, sizes, weights, transformations and more, in our CoBlocks blocks, and in core WordPress blocks.

Free Companion Theme

CoBlocks is built to show off the best of Gutenberg, but it requires a Gutenberg-first theme to unlock its full potential. We also created the free Go theme in the WordPress theme repository as the perfect companion for CoBlocks.

Going Beyond Gutenberg Blocks

The vision for CoBlocks is to create a suite of Gutenberg blocks to help folks make beautiful websites easily. These newest releases of CoBlocks is the ultimate expression of that vision.

Extensible, adaptable, and open source — CoBlocks is created with theme and plugin developers in mind. If you’re interested to jump in the project, there are opportunities for developers at all levels to get involved. Contribute to CoBlocks on GitHub and join the party. 🎉

The Carousel Gallery Block is a great addition to Gutenberg blocks. There are 2 problems: Title and/or Caption doesn’t show. In lightbox the pictures aren’t shown in full size. Extra request: Thumbnail navigation in lightbox. Please fix these issues. Thanks

Me 20, 2023
Among all the freemium and false free builder it’s really cool to find a good builder. Simple yet effective. The support is great. Maybe a little more options can be added to some blocks. But i’m sure the plugin will evolve. Highly recommended if you want something simple (yet powerfull) and that works!
