‘Blocks’ as a concept existed before Gutenberg, but they have become a lot more important to the future of WordPress and the web.
In this talk, the speaker will take you through how blocks have changed their approach to UX Design as a digital agency, how clients are benefitting from this, how it is made them quicker at delivering our designs and how all of this results in a better experience for site managers and end-users.
You will walk away with practical tips about selling and presenting blocks as an idea to clients, workflow ideas to make things easier for developers and a smile on your face. 🙂
