Development
I used the WordPress CMS to allow editors to insert or remove any module whenever they wanted, based on user needs. In this regard, the old approach of using the WordPress template hierarchy to create a set of rigid templates, which are then rolled out across the site, was insufficient.
With this in mind, I created a set of Gutenberg Blocks using PHP & JavaScript which can be selected from their own section in the Gutenberg Editor. If one of these blocks no longer served a user need, they could be removed immediately and replaced. With a templated approach this would not have been possible.
Results
A fully-bespoke WordPress site which combines a strong & consistent visual identity with maximum flexibility for content editors.
