Title: GENE Section Builder Author: onecraftne Published: Metheven 8, 2026 Last modified: Metheven 8, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/gene-section-builder.svg) # GENE Section Builder By [onecraftne](https://profiles.wordpress.org/onecraftne/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/gene-section-builder.2.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/gene-section-builder/#description) * [Reviews](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/gene-section-builder/#reviews) * [Installation](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/gene-section-builder/#installation) * [Development](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/gene-section-builder/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gene-section-builder/) ## Description GENE Section Builder adds a single, focused block of the same name to WordPress. Choose a color palette, a section, and a style. Hit Generate. A fully designed section appears, built from native WordPress blocks and ready for you to edit. **All features are free.** No paid tier, no locked options. * **7 color palettes** — Blue, Emerald, Violet, Rose, Amber, Teal, Charcoal. Muted, eye-friendly tones. The same section renders in any color, so you can match your brand instantly. * **8 sections** — Hero, Services, Call to Action, Menu / Pricing, Testimonials, Team, Q&A, plus one-click Full Page. * **7 styles** — Cards, List, Grid, Carousel, Accordion, Split, Masonry (only the styles that fit each section are offered). * **Scroll effects** — Fade, slide, scale, blur, reveal, text reveal, 3D tilt, 3D flip and staggered cards. Lightweight, CSS-driven, applied from the GENE Effects panel on any block. **Why core blocks?** Every section is built from standard WordPress core blocks (group, columns, heading, paragraph, image, buttons, details). That means: * Fully editable — change any text, image, color, or layout from the editor * No vendor lock-in — if you deactivate the plugin, your content stays intact ( you’ll just lose the visual polish) * Works in any block-aware theme * Lightweight — CSS-driven color palettes, no heavy frameworks **Pairs perfectly with the GENE theme**, but works with any block-aware WordPress theme. ### Resources GENE Section Builder WordPress Plugin, (C) 2026 One Craft GENE Section Builder is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL v2 or later. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Section Builder Pick a color, a section, and a style — get a fully designed section. Then break it apart and make it yours. ## Installation 1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Upload the gene-blocks.zip file and click Install Now. 3. Activate the plugin. 4. In the block editor, search for “Section Builder” or find it under the “GENE Section Builder” category. ## FAQ ### Does this require the GENE theme? No. GENE Section Builder works with any WordPress block-aware theme. It looks especially good with the GENE theme because the color palettes match. ### Can I edit the generated sections? Yes. After clicking Generate, the section is replaced with regular core blocks. You can edit every part — text, images, colors, spacing — using normal WordPress editor controls. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? Your content stays. The blocks were converted to core blocks at generation time, so they keep working. You’ll lose the design CSS polish (cards lose their elevated look, hero sections lose their dark background, etc.), but no content is lost. ### How is this different from a pattern? Patterns are static. Section Builder lets you choose color/section/style combinations and generates the right design for that combination. It’s a guided picker, not a flat library. ### Is there a paid version? GENE Section Builder is fully free with no locked features — nothing here is gated. If you want a different design system, there is a separate companion plugin, GENE Blocks Studio, available at https://gene-wp.com/. It applies six complete visual aesthetics consistently across every section. It is a standalone product, not an upgrade that unlocks this plugin; everything in GENE Section Builder stays free. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “GENE Section Builder” is open source software.
