Thanks for watching this video. I cannot wait to hear what you think about this and how you have applied this to speed up your own workflow. It has certainly increased my productivity. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.
This was really cool to see. I’ve made some custom blocks with ACF for things like an Inline Notice and Pros / Cons list for posts. It has the benefit of being to edit the html for them when I want in the future but I have been wondering if I could get away with just creating patterns like this 🤔
ok but why should I use block patterns when a theme like Avada allows me to do this in seconds? Also, what if a clients wants to modify their page and have zero technical knowledge? I hope you give me your point of view. Thanks for the video
Hey, thanks for your questions. As you know, the purpose of the video is focused on how to build a plugin to store the Gutenberg block editor patterns for easy access later on or moving to other sites. I am not familiar with the Avada theme as I don't use it, however if that is part of your workflow and you enjoy using that, I encourage you to stay with what tools you wish to use. If a client has zero technical knowledge and wants to edit a page, it really comes back to how the handover process takes place. I always include recorded training sessions with my clients at handover, so they know the basics of page editing and this process seems to work well. The great thing I like about using Gutenberg, is it is a native experience for WordPress, there is no adding additional layers of UI and so my processes work best that way. Again, if using Avada is easier for you, then keep using it. That is the beautiful thing about WordPress, it has no limits and many tools can be used to facilitate any outcomes. I hope that helps answers your questions and thanks again for watching the video.
Hey, thanks for checking out the video. This is still going great, even a year later. I am in the early stages of creating a plugin that has all the GSTemplate.com templates, so you could essentially get the plugin, install it and then get access to all the templates, rather than copy / pasting them one by one. Work in progress, like all things. Hope you are keeping well.

Great idea, how's this going now that it's been a year?
