Build clearer content sections, calls to action, feature lists, FAQs, tabs, pricing presentations, progress indicators, statistics, and responsive layouts without requiring a separate page builder. Each block works inside the familiar WordPress editor and provides focused controls for content, colors, spacing, borders, typography, links, or responsive behavior where appropriate. ### Build More with the WordPress Block Editor Genial Blocks is designed for creating useful page sections directly in the WordPress block editor. Use individual blocks on their own or combine them inside Container layouts to build landing pages, service pages, product sections, pricing areas, documentation, and other structured content. Interactive blocks use semantic controls and keyboard-aware behavior where applicable. Links opened in new tabs receive safe relationship attributes, and animated Counter and Progress Bar effects respect reduced-motion preferences. ### 13 Blocks Included #### Advanced Heading Create semantic headings from H1 through H6 with optional subtitles, alignment, typography, text color, and spacing controls. #### Advanced Button Add flexible link buttons with custom URLs, optional new-tab behavior, responsive width, hover colors, borders, radius, and padding controls. #### Info Box Highlight important content with a title, description, optional local icon, responsive icon placement, CTA link, colors, borders, and spacing. #### Accordion Organize expandable content into multiple disclosure items. Choose whether one item or multiple items can remain open. #### Counter Display numeric statistics with start and end values, prefixes, suffixes, labels, decimal places, alignment, and optional count-up animation. #### Icon List Create repeatable lists using bundled icons, optional item links, alignment, icon sizing, colors, and spacing controls. #### Tabs Organize related content into interactive tabs with keyboard navigation and configurable tab and content styling. #### Pricing Table Present a pricing plan with a name, subtitle, price, billing period, previous price, badge, feature list, and optional CTA link. The block presents pricing information; it does not process payments. #### Progress Bar Show completion or progress values with configurable minimum and maximum values, labels, colors, height, radius, and optional animation. #### Container Arrange nested Gutenberg content inside a responsive layout container with configurable width, direction, alignment, justification, gap, spacing, colors, borders, and minimum height. #### Testimonial Present a semantic testimonial with quote text, author details, an optional avatar, rating, alignment, colors, borders, radius, and spacing controls. #### Team Member Create an individual team profile with an image, name, designation, biography, safe social links, alignment, colors, borders, radius, and spacing controls. #### Countdown Display a client-side countdown to a deterministic UTC date and time with days, hours, minutes, seconds, a completion message, responsive layout, and styling controls. ### Designed for the Native Editor Genial Blocks uses the native WordPress block editor and does not require another page builder.
