My Essential WordPress Blocks

First off, you’ll need the free version of the Spectra plugin to get these blocks.

Specta is one my favorite free plugins and does more than just add blocks. You get things like a popup builder too!

Container

The container block is a fabulously flexible block that enables you to create some really cool layouts. Your only limitation is your imagination!

Icon List

Get rid of boring bullet points with the icon list block.

With loads of icons to choose from you can create styled lists based on the subject of your content.
