That steady flow of money can improve your financial health. You’ll also have more control over each site’s environment.

They can also include extras like block patterns and style variations. Style variations give you a head start on design. They allow us to create multiple color and typography combinations. They also house custom block styles defined in the Site Editor. Anything in a theme.json file can also be included in a style variation.

Modern websites often feature extensive scrolling. Long pages are common on desktop devices, but are even more frequent on mobile screens. The practice creates usability challenges for tasks like navigation and referencing important information. That’s where “sticky” design elements come in handy.

The WordPress Block Editor is infinitely extensible. For instance, you can build custom blocks to suit your needs or create block patterns for faster page building. But that’s only part of what’s possible. You can also create custom style variations for WordPress blocks, augmenting what’s included in a default installation. This feature puts you in control of block design and helps establish a consistent look. It also means you don’t have to settle when using core blocks.
