Layoutic Blocks – essential native blocks, extensions, and patterns for Gutenberg vs ZoloBlocks – Advanced Gutenberg Blocks, Website Builder & Page Design Toolkit

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 Container – A responsive layout container with Flex, Grid, or Block display set per device. Start from a layout variation (Single, Two, Three or Four Columns, Left or Right Sidebar), then control gaps, alignment, min height, content max width, padding, margin, border, position and overflow at every breakpoint. Layer classic, gradient, or video backgrounds with optional Before, Overlay, and After layers, and restyle the whole card on hover — including the colors of the headings, text, links, and buttons inside it. Carousel – A fully responsive image and content slider built on Swiper, configurable entirely within the editor. Icon – Insert and style any icon from a curated library, with full color and size controls. Save your own custom SVG icons to a reusable, site-wide My Icons library and reuse them anywhere from the icon picker. Counter – Animated number counters to highlight stats, milestones, or key metrics. Progress Bar – Visual progress indicators with customizable labels, colors, and fill levels. Toggle – Accordion-style content toggle to organize FAQs and collapsible sections cleanly. Advanced Toggle – An enhanced toggle block with richer layout and styling controls. Unfold – Reveal hidden content progressively with a “read more / show less” interaction. Map – Embed an interactive Google Map directly inside a block with no shortcode needed. Rating – Star rating display for testimonials, reviews, or product showcases. Block Extensions Layoutic Blocks also extends existing core blocks with extra controls: Visibility – Show or hide any core block based on device type (desktop, tablet, mobile) without touching a line of CSS. Responsive Alignment – Set text alignment per device (desktop, tablet, mobile) for core Heading and Paragraph blocks. Iconic Button – Add SVG icon to core button block Iconic List – Add SVG icon to core list block Hover Color – Add hover color, background and border for core blocks Image Masking – Add SVG masking to core image block Paragraph Max Width – Set a custom max-width on core Paragraph blocks for desktop; tablet and mobile automatically fall back to 100%. More blocks and extensions are in active development — new additions ship regularly. Why Layoutic Blocks? Natively Built – Uses WordPress’s own block API and components. No React frameworks bolted on top, no external page builder required. Performance First – Block assets load only on pages where those blocks are used. Zero overhead on pages that don’t use them. Selective Loading – Enable only the blocks and extensions you actually need, keeping your site lean and your editor uncluttered. No Coding Required – Every block is fully configurable from the editor sidebar. No shortcodes, no custom CSS needed for common tasks. Works With Any Theme – Layoutic Blocks is theme-agnostic and works especially well with Full Site Editing (FSE) themes. Perfect for: freelancers, agencies, bloggers, and anyone building WordPress sites in the block editor who needs more creative control without leaving Gutenberg.
