c9-blocks

Previously the plugin loaded youtube ressources in the background but the developer added an option to disable it so you should be fine in areas where GDPR applies and therefore I changed this review. The plugin itself is a big improvement to the capabilities of the default Gutenberg editor and allows you to rapidly build beautiful pages thanks to lots of useful building blocks.

This is pretty much my first web building blocks and it is very easy to get it to work. The CS is very attentive to support any issue. It works well with other layout plugins as well. Still, I wish to be able to customize the font attributes in a more visual method 🙂

If you’ve used ClickFunnels, it feels very similar to that. It’s extremely intuitive and I don’t think I’ve ran into a project yet where I wasn’t able to make it happen strictly with C9 Blocks. It really has all the features the default Gutenburg editor should have. I’ve been able to rebuild existing client sites other people had made in bulky page builders like Elementor and effectively make the exact same site, but without all the extra bulk slowing it down. 10/10 would recommend.

I was looking for some Bootstrap 4 support while prototyping for a client when I stumbled upon this plugin and the C9 Theme, and it’s been a revelation. I’ve made extensive use of this plugin’s grid system, to ease responsiveness management inside the Gutenberg editor, which allowed me to focus more on the content. The second best thing this plugin offers is the «reusable blocks» features. This has been quite handy to nail specific responsive section designs my client was looking for, and easily replicate them across several different pages. Being able to place a combination of nested blocks, pre-styled and configured, has been a godsend. The block templates are a bit situational. They follow a specific artistic design, so they might not be applicable to every projects, but it’s nice when they do. Support’s also been great. So, all in all, I’m pretty satisfied with C9 Blocks.
