Site creators can benefit from full site editing and the Site Editor in many ways. With these new features, you can change parts of a website that you previously could not change without using code. You can make site wide changes or edit the smallest details on a specific post or page.
The Site Editor gives you more freedom to adjust the look and feel of the website
By using a block theme, you can make design changes to any part of your site directly in the editor. You are no longer limited to content areas and widget areas that the theme developer has added.
For example, you can move the navigation menu, add social icons, or add a header image even if the theme did not initially have a header image. Or, you could use different site footers for different pages.
When you create sites for clients, you can also lock features so that your clients do not accidentally break something.
You can create your own color palette and save default styles for blocks using the new Styles settings:
You can do more with the new blocks
Create custom landing pages and homepages where you can combine a blog with other types of content, with full control of the placement and design.
One of the most interesting new blocks is the post template block that displays a list of posts. You can use this to change a blog design without touching any code. Add, move or remove blocks for featured images, post title, category, date, post author, read more text, and more.
You can save, customize and reuse menus and submenus with the navigation block. You can also place social icons, search forms, or the site logo directly in the menu:
Better preview of the design while you are editing
Some themes have all the Customizer options you need for changing font sizes and colors.
-But you can’t edit your content in the Customizer preview.
With the new editors, you can decide if you want to view and edit the content, the whole page, or a single part like a header or footer:
Choose from more premade designs with patterns
Patterns will become more valuable to site creators with full site editing. You can choose from premade designs made by the theme developer and from the WordPress.org pattern directory.
