Scintilla Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks, Page Builder & Block Editor Library

Description

Scintilla Blocks is a lightweight Gutenberg blocks library and page builder for the WordPress block editor. Build landing pages, FAQ sections, hero areas, service grids, testimonial sliders, and full website layouts with 13 advanced custom blocks — no shortcodes, no third-party page builders, no bloat.

Every block ships with responsive controls (desktop / tablet / mobile), typography, colors, backgrounds, borders, hover effects, and an advanced section for margin, padding, z-index, and CSS ID. A central admin dashboard lets you enable or disable any block and configure global breakpoints.

Why Scintilla Blocks

• Native Gutenberg — built on the WordPress block API. No iframes, no canvas hacks, no separate editor.
• Full Site Editing (FSE) ready — works in the post editor, the site editor, templates, and template parts.
• Responsive everywhere — every spacing, typography, and layout control has Desktop / Tablet / Mobile tabs.
• Zero front-end bloat — inline CSS only emitted for blocks that have values set; no jQuery, no global stylesheet.
• Admin dashboard — toggle each block on or off and configure tablet / mobile breakpoints from one screen.
• Translation-ready — full text domain support, GPL-2.0-or-later licensed, WordPress.org coding standards.

Included Blocks

• Container — Elementor-style flex and grid container with backgrounds (color, gradient, image), borders, box-shadow, responsive spacing, and inner blocks support. Build any section, hero, or column layout.

Page Builder Features

• Per-block Layout, Style, and Advanced tabs.
• Responsive Padding and Margin on every block — set different values for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile.
• Background color, gradient, and image with position, size, repeat, and overlay.
• Border controls per corner with radius, width, color, and box-shadow.

Built for Performance

• No external CSS / JS loaded unless a block is actually used on the page.
• No jQuery dependency on the front end.
• Inline <style> per block, scoped by unique ID — no global selector pollution.
