The debate of Elementor vs. Gutenberg will continue for a while. Gutenberg has yet to be able to replace the influential page builders. However, the Gutenberg user rate is increasing continuously. The main reason behind this is the speed of websites. As we all know, page builders make slow down websites. That is why the number of users of old-school page builders is declining.
However, Gutenberg could only do some things compared to the page builder. However, some powerful Gutenberg-based plugins are being introduced to overcome its limitations. That’s what we will discuss in this blog post.
Introducing The Dynamic Gutenberg Website Builder of PostX
PostX is an all-in-one Gutenberg-based plugin to create a News Magazine or any Blogging site. The powerful Dynamic Gutenberg Website Builder is one of many powerful add-ons of PostX. It helps to create and manage templates for all essential pages and replace the default ones that include:
- Home
- Blog
- Archives
- Categories
- Post/Pages
- Tag
- Search
- Date
We can easily alter the designs of the pages mentioned above, no matter which theme we use; however, PostX’s Gutenberg builder only controls the body part. The header and footer can only be controlled by the theme customizer settings. If you are only concerned about the body part of your pages, then you can try PostX as your daily companion for creating and managing your blogs. Keep reading to learn the complete offerings of PostX’s Gutenberg-based website builder.
Features of The PostX Dynamic Gutenberg Website Builder
We have introduced PostX’s Gutenberg Website Builder, so it’s time to discuss its features. To help you decide whether to give it a try or stick with a traditional page builder, let’s check out the main attractive features of the PostX Dynamic Site Builder.
40+ Premade Templates
The Dynamic site builder already includes 40+ premade templates for all essential pages of your site. You can import templates and assign them to your desired page(s).
The pages in the same conditions will display posts in your assigned template layout. All the templates are highly customizable, so you can alter them according to your needs.
Start Packs for Home Page
PostX has various starter packs that are finely crafted to create a custom home page. These templates focus on multiple niches, including personal blogs, movie news, sports news, gaming news, travel blogs, etc. You can easily import any starter pack to create the desired home page quickly.
After importing any available templates, you can customize them according to your niche. PostX offers multiple post blocks to create a home page from scratch or just a post section.
18+ Site Building Blocks
It’s good to see that PostX also oversites building blocks. So, if the templates can’t meet our requirements, we can’t start creating the blocks from scratch. Especially for the layout of the single post, we may need to change the position of each element of the blog posts. So, the single post blocks are highly effective in achieving the layouts of the blog posts exactly how we want.
Drag and Drop Building Option
Why are page builders like Elementor so popular? One main reason is that they offer drag-and-drop building options. In other words, you can drag and drop widgets to the desired place on the page you are editing to create the template/layout.
PostX’s Gutenberg website builder has the same functionalities as the Gutenberg editor. You can drag and drop blocks instead of widgets to create your desired layouts. As a result, Gutenberg lovers can experience the same building options without compromising website loading time.
One of the few downsides of using the Gutenberg builder over traditional page builders is that you can’t experience the flexibility of front-end building. However, backend development options are also visual. You can see what you are doing while editing a template.
Easy Condition Selections
Conditions are essential in a dynamic building. When creating a template, you must assign it correctly to the page(s) you want to use it. The condition selection options are simple, as they have been separated according to the template-creating types.
For example, what will the conditions be if you want to create a template for blog posts? An idol single post template builder should have the following conditions:
- One Template for All Posts
- Based on Single or Multiple Categories
- Based on Single or Multiple Tags
- Based on Single or Multiple Authors
- Unique Template for Specific Posts
The PostX builder has all the options you can think of, and it is easy to understand and manageable, too. However, having a basic idea about the WordPress template hierarchy would be best. Otherwise, selecting the conditions can be a bit confusing.
Flexible Template Management
Template management is also essential. You don’t want to get lost when while managing templates, right? You will not because all the templates you create with PostX builder will be stored in one place. From there, you can effortlessly access and manage all templates you have created.
