Layoutic Blocks fills the gaps in the WordPress block editor by providing essential custom blocks and powerful extensions that Gutenberg simply doesn’t include out of the box. Built entirely with native WordPress components, every block feels right at home inside the editor — no bloated libraries, no page builder lock-in. Whether you’re a freelancer, agency, or site owner, Layoutic Blocks gives you the tools to build richer, more engaging pages without ever leaving the block editor. Live Demos Visti: GutenLayouts Blocks Included Carousel – A fully responsive image and content slider built on Swiper, configurable entirely within the editor.
