     19**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.**
     20
     21**[You can try a live demo of Frontis](https://app.zipwp.com/wp?plugins=frontis-blocks)**
     22
     23Finally, 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.
     24
     25You 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.)
     26
     27Add 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.
     28
     29Now, 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.
     30

     32
     33- **Native & simple:** Build inside Gutenberg (no new UI to learn).
     34- **Fast by default:** Lightweight assets help pages load quickly and support SEO.
     35- **No lock-in:** Standard **Gutenberg blocks** mean you can switch themes anytime.
     36- **Real features you’ll use:** **Container* for layout, **global control** for consistent styles, **Copy & Paste Styles** to speed up your work.
     37- **Launch today:** **Premade designs** and patterns give you a head start. Just replace text and images.
     38- **Container:**
     39
     40**Why is Frontis vs. other block libraries?**
     41
     42- **Focused, not bloated:** **30+ blocks** that cover real pages — headings, CTAs, accordions/tabs, sliders, counters, post grids, teams, pricing, testimonials, galleries and more.
     43- **Premade designs are included:** Start with ready-made sections and full layouts, then tweak with global styles.
     44- **Features:** Form styling for **Fluent Forms** and **Contact Form 7, Google Map block (no API key),** animated headings, sliders/carousels.
     45- **SEO-friendly structure:** Clean markup and clear structure help pages rank.

    79150
    80 = Is Frontis Gutenberg Blocks Free? =
    81 Yes, it's completely free.
    82 
    83 = Is Frontis Blocks compatible with my theme? = 
    84 Yes, the core Gutenberg editor is free in WordPress, and Frontis Blocks extends its functionalities at no extra cost.
    85 
    86 = What Is the Difference Between Gutenberg Blocks and Elementor? = 
    87 Gutenberg blocks are native to WordPress, offering a lightweight and more streamlined approach without needing an external page builder. Elementor, on the other hand, is a separate plugin with its own editor. Frontis Blocks leverages Gutenberg’s built-in capabilities and transforms it into a powerful, easy-to-use design framework—no need to juggle multiple page builders.
    88 
    89 = Is Gutenberg a Page Builder? = 
    90 Many people ask this question because of the editor’s block-based approach. While Gutenberg started as a basic content editor, with robust add-ons (like Frontis Blocks, or other block plugins), it can function similarly to a traditional page builder. That means advanced layout controls, design customizations, and a wide array of elements—right inside the familiar WordPress interface.

     23Finally, 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.
     24
     25You 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.)
     26
     27Add 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.
     28
     29Now, 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.
     30

    79150
    80 = Is Frontis Gutenberg Blocks Free? =
    81 Yes, it's completely free.
    82 
    83 = Is Frontis Blocks compatible with my theme? = 
    84 Yes, the core Gutenberg editor is free in WordPress, and Frontis Blocks extends its functionalities at no extra cost.
    85 
    86 = What Is the Difference Between Gutenberg Blocks and Elementor? = 
    87 Gutenberg blocks are native to WordPress, offering a lightweight and more streamlined approach without needing an external page builder. Elementor, on the other hand, is a separate plugin with its own editor. Frontis Blocks leverages Gutenberg’s built-in capabilities and transforms it into a powerful, easy-to-use design framework—no need to juggle multiple page builders.
    88 
    89 = Is Gutenberg a Page Builder? = 
    90 Many people ask this question because of the editor’s block-based approach. While Gutenberg started as a basic content editor, with robust add-ons (like Frontis Blocks, or other block plugins), it can function similarly to a traditional page builder. That means advanced layout controls, design customizations, and a wide array of elements—right inside the familiar WordPress interface.
