  • Power Up With Free Wireframe Templates And Advanced Blocks

    Speakers: Maestro Stevens, Destiny Kanno

    July 20, 2022 — NO MO SLOW FLO!

    Are you looking for an easier way to speed up your web page production workflow?

    I will teach you how to use free wireframes and advanced blocks in WordPress to create stunning, mobile-ready, fast pages with ease.

    Ohh…Yea, I said mobile-ready, my friends!

    If you’re not familiar, you can think of wireframes as templates (or layout sketches) without any styling and advanced blocks as 3rd party Gutenberg blocks on steroids.

    Wireframes allow you to easily integrate your own branding and advanced blocks give you page builder functionality without all the page builder bloat.

    You know this means war…. On speed optimization and caching plugins that is, lol.

    Whether you’re just starting out or already have some steak and potatoes in the game, this presentation is right for you!

    Target Audience
    -Template or Wireframe Lovers
    -Block Editor Users
    -3rd Party Blocks Advocates

    Level
    -Beginner – Intermediate

    Primary Demo Tools
