Wordpress is entering a new era, as full-site editing (FSE) arrives.
Building with blocks will become popular, and more developers will adapt to this new option to build websites, which keeps the website way faster than website builders but has the user experience to let regular users create their entire website using blocks.
Many established Wordpress companies are building block plugins or block themes(FSE). BrainstomForce released Spectra One and Yith launched the Yith Wonder theme, both free.
Established websites are also going from using website builders to block plugins and FSE themes, as building using blocks may offer the same flexibility and easiness of use as website builders.
With that in mind, should you use Kadence Blocks and Kadence over a page-builder(Elementor)?
With Kadence Blocks, the functionality gap from Elementor may be in the details, as it offers +15 custom blocks, with the Pro version offering +40 custom blocks. Elementor offers +150 custom blocks.
