[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Gutenberg editor emerged as an answer to the growing need of WordPress users for a page builder that is more versatile, intuitive, and customizable than the classic WordPress editor<\/strong>. It was getting harder and harder to keep pace with the popular drag-and-drop page builders like WPBakery, Elementor, and similar, so WordPress had to take a significant step forward to remain the preferred CMS. Gutenberg was meant to provide that leverage to WordPress, and it is indeed way more powerful than the Classic editor. Gutenberg provides a better user experience<\/strong>, and the feature that makes up for many of its shortcomings is its incredible flexibility. Before we continue, let us just explain in brief how Gutenberg works.

Gutenberg in a Nutshell<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]To put it as simple as possible, the Gutenberg editor is a set of default blocks for adding content to your pages<\/strong>: images, paragraphs, lists, buttons, and more. It allows you to place these blocks to all the designated areas on your website. You can customize and modify each block independently from the others<\/strong>. What makes it special is that it is a beginner-friendly drag-and-drop page building tool that lets you use, arrange and rearrange content blocks just like building blocks. If you are curious about Gutenberg, a good place to start getting to know it better is our article about the new WordPress block editor<\/a>. Once you become familiar with Gutenberg, though, you may want to broaden and improve its functionalities, and you can do so simply by adding an appropriate plugin.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”68px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Two Types of Gutenberg Plugins<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Before we get down to which plugins are the best, you should know that there are two types of Gutenberg plugins: single-purpose block plugins and Gutenberg block libraries<\/strong>. The single-purpose block plugins, as their name suggests, focus on one feature and provide you with a way to add a single, specific block to your page<\/strong>. A good example of this type of plugins is the Gridbuilder WP plugin that enables you to add custom grids to your site. They are a great solution when you’re missing only one piece of a puzzle, and you know exactly which one, to make your website complete. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]But, in case you want to create rich content and need a variety of additional blocks, library plugins will probably suit you better<\/strong>. This type of plugins usually includes an abundance of blocks like testimonials, CTAs, pricing lists, and similar. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Although library plugins may seem more powerful, in most cases it is actually quite the other way around. The single-purpose block plugins usually come with a more comprehensive set of options<\/strong> and integrate more smoothly. Library plugins sometimes have so many block options that you easily get overwhelmed, and they are not as fine-tuned as the other type. But, it all depends on what you want to achieve with the plugin. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]After testing a wide assortment of both library and single-purpose plugins, we handpicked the ones that are the most user-friendly, effective, and reliable.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”68px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
