What page builder should you use?
If page builders are what you are looking for, we recommend using the WordPress Gutenberg editor. It’s now the new standard for WordPress editing. You can visit the new Gutenberg editing experience for WordPress and try it out. For most of our small businesses in Orlando, we find that the Gutenberg editor works great for smaller sites. It allows for content variety in your WordPress posts and pages.

Custom ACF Blocks
An ACF block, also known as an “Advanced Custom Fields Block,” is a feature provided by the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin for WordPress. It allows users to create custom blocks for their WordPress websites, offering greater flexibility in designing and structuring content.
ACF blocks provide several benefits and use cases:
Customized content layout: ACF blocks enable users to create unique content layouts by combining different fields, such as text, image, or video, within a block. This empowers website owners to tailor their content presentation according to their specific needs.
Reusability: ACF blocks can be easily reused across multiple pages or posts, providing consistency in content structure and design. This saves time and effort by eliminating the need to recreate the same layout repeatedly.
User-friendly editing experience: ACF blocks simplify the content editing process by providing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces for updating block content. This makes it easier for non-technical users to manage and modify their website content without relying on complex coding.
Modular content building: ACF blocks allow website owners to break down their content into modular components, making managing and rearranging different sections within a page or post easier. This flexibility enables dynamic and adaptable content creation.
Extensibility: ACF blocks can be extended through the use of custom fields and additional functionality. Developers can create custom fields with specific data types and validation rules, enhancing the block’s capabilities and accommodating unique requirements.
Overall, ACF blocks enhance the customization options and content management capabilities of WordPress websites, empowering users to create visually appealing and functionally rich websites with ease.
