After we develop or migrate a new website to the WordPress block editor, we work with our customers and train them as they journey into this new full site editor (FSE) experience. However, our support often continues long beyond that. Once a website goes live, we learn how the client’s team uses it, listen closely to their stories, and note their wins and concerns.
New Website Users Grasp the Block Editor Quickly
Users consistently express appreciation for the intuitiveness of the WordPress block editor and FSE design elements. The block-based structure provides a clear and organized way to layout content so users visualize their work efficiently. This approach works well for beginners without coding experience, as it reduces the overwhelm that can come with tech work and empowers users to think and write creatively without technical stumbling blocks.
Efficient, Flexible Media Handling
In the past, editing in WordPress often felt daunting and inflexible, especially for those who weren’t well-versed in the backend systems or the TinyMCE text editor. Today’s WordPress block editor offers a very different experience! Intuitive and user-friendly, new users easily navigate website content creation with confidence and speed. The block editor has made WordPress an even more approachable tool that empowers users to express themselves without feeling overwhelmed. “This is a whole new world,” explained WebDevStudios client Jewel Staite, when talking about her block-based website. “This has all the bells and whistles, and feels sophisticated, fresh, and modern.”
WordPress Block Editor Provides Tools to Marketing Teams
For instance, our clients recognize how quickly they can create landing pages with patterns and blocks. “It takes a few minutes rather than weeks,” a client recently expressed when discussing the pages they had made for a recent marketing campaign. Plus, those pages look good, carrying through the design elements present on the main website pages, allowing the team to focus on enriching and engaging content.
Simple Editing Makes Content Goals Attainable
Inserting core content blocks, such as text, images, and videos in any combination, provides flexibility that permits clients to align pages to their goals quickly. Plus, it can all be done without adding a new plugin or custom code! This streamlined content creation process means more efficient work, less stress for the department overall, and reduces the need to contact adjacent IT departments for assistance.
“The quality that the WDS team brings is exactly what we needed to set us up for success long-term. We could not be happier with the results. I can go to my leadership and ask for the necessary development budget because it is so clear cut what we are getting and how it benefits us as an organization.” – WDS client after their recent block theme conversion
More Consistent Workflows and Improved CWV Performance
Workflows improve as team members discover their favorite block editor tools, such as synced or accordion blocks. As one client shared, “I think the teams have been working well together, and that we are really picking up some steam with milestones, deliverables, etc…” Aside from time savings in content creation, customer teams are quick to mention performance, speed, and Core Web Vitals (CWV) after transitioning to the block editor. The block editor stands out for its user-friendly design and remarkable time-saving capabilities, making it an invaluable tool for non-technical users and clients.
