My Journey to FSE (Full Site Editing)

Over the past four to five years, I’ve been diving into WordPress, beginning with page builders. As I explored, I was inspired by the growing potential of block themes and decided to embrace the shift away from traditional methods. With over 40 years of programming experience, I wanted to take a fresh approach—one that emphasizes low-code or no-code solutions whenever possible.

Let me share some of the insights and techniques I’ve picked up along the way.

The web design landscape is constantly evolving, and we’re moving toward an era of simplicity, efficiency, and innovation. Block themes are leading this transformation, breaking free from the restrictions and complexity of Classic themes.

Here’s my personal journey of transitioning from Classic to Block themes, including the challenges I’ve faced and the lessons I’ve learned.
