**DESIGN BEAUTIFUL, FAST-LOADING WEBSITES IN THE WORDPRESS BLOCK EDITOR (GUTENBERG BLOCK EDITOR) WITH THE BEST GUTENBERG BLOCKS PLUGIN — 30+ BLOCKS, PREMADE DESIGNS, NO CODING.**

**[You can try a live demo of Frontis](https://app.zipwp.com/wp?plugins=frontis-blocks)**

Finally, a **Gutenberg block** library that lets you design beautiful, fast, and professional websites right inside WordPress. Frontis Blocks adds a wide set of powerful **Gutenberg block** elements so you can build landing pages, blogs, portfolios, and stores in minutes. It works with **any theme** and pairs perfectly with the Frontis theme for a seamless full-site editing workflow.

You open the WordPress editor and just want to make a good page fast. No heavy plugin, no code, no guesswork. That’s why we built **Frontis Blocks**. It works right inside the Block Editor **(Gutenberg Block Editor)** so you can launch real pages right now. (With 30+ lightweight Gutenberg blocks plus premade designs.)

Add a hero with an advanced/animated heading, place a clear button, show a few testimonials, a pricing table, a gallery or slider, even a Google Map (no API key). It’s simple because it stays with native **Gutenberg blocks** that feel fast and look clean.

Now, if you’ve tried big page builders — **Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Bricks, Beaver Builder** — you already know the downsides: extra interfaces, extra scripts, and sometimes slower pages as your site grows. Frontis takes a different approach which is Gutenberg first. Your content stays in standard **Gutenberg Block** markup, so it’s easy to edit, easy to move, and built to be fast.

**Why Frontis instead of heavy page builders (Elementor, Divi, etc.)?**

- **Native & simple:** Build inside Gutenberg (no new UI to learn).
- **Fast by default:** Lightweight assets help pages load quickly and support SEO.
- **No lock-in:** Standard **Gutenberg blocks** mean you can switch themes anytime.
- **Real features you’ll use:** **Container* for layout, **global control** for consistent styles, **Copy & Paste Styles** to speed up your work.
- **Launch today:** **Premade designs** and patterns give you a head start. Just replace text and images.
- **Container:**

**Why is Frontis vs. other block libraries?**

- **Focused, not bloated:** **30+ blocks** that cover real pages — headings, CTAs, accordions/tabs, sliders, counters, post grids, teams, pricing, testimonials, galleries and more.
- **Premade designs are included:** Start with ready-made sections and full layouts, then tweak with global styles.
- **Features:** Form styling for **Fluent Forms** and **Contact Form 7, Google Map block (no API key),** animated headings, sliders/carousels.
- **SEO-friendly structure:** Clean markup and clear structure help pages rank.
