Ready to understand what full site editing is really all about? This video takes a step back to explore the bigger picture behind WordPress’s full site editing revolution.
Full site editing is part of the massive Gutenberg project that’s reimagining WordPress piece by piece. We’re currently in phase two (site customization), which introduced the site editor and visual editing interfaces that make block theme development so powerful.
The game-changer? Everything is now edited in-place instead of through separate preview windows like the old customizer. When you’re working in the site editor, you see exactly how your block theme will look as you build it.
Plus, WordPress now provides all the styling controls you need built-in – your job as a developer is choosing which controls to offer your users, not building custom frameworks from scratch.
