WordPress 6.0 finally brings us closer to a full site editing experience, with all the tools needed to build a website from start to finish.
With the introduction of Full Site Editing, users can easily create layouts and edit every aspect of a website using WordPress’ core features. In addition, there’s no limit placed on what kind of design element a website can have.
What is a block theme?
A block theme is a WordPress theme with templates entirely composed of blocks so that in addition to the post content of the different post types (pages, posts, …), the block editor can also be used to edit all areas of the site: headers, footers, sidebars, etc. (Source: WordPress)
As the push toward the 6.1 release continues, it’s worth noting which WordPress themes have embraced this new style of building. Below are some of the best-designed and most powerful block-based themes.
