Nowadays, when building a website with WordPress, many people choose to use the zoneblock editor(aka Gutenberg Editor) to edit pages. It comes with modules that are not only easy to use, but also getting stronger in terms of layout, and in particular the support for responsive design is quite good.

This post takes a look at what you can do with WordPress's ownBlock Editor, how to make page layouts that look and work well on computers, tablets and phones.

Building infrastructure with "group" and "column" blocks

existBlock Editorin which common responsive layouts are usually created with the "Group" block (Group) respond in singing "Columns" block to realize it.

"organize"Blocks can wrap multiple elements together, making it easy to set backgrounds, spacing, etc. in a uniform manner. And "columns"Blocks can be created with left-right, three-column, or more split-column structures, perfect for displaying graphic content side-by-side.

For example, to make a module with a left-right structure:

• Add a "Columns" block and select "Two Columns Layout".

• Put an image on the left, title + paragraph + button on the right

On mobile, these two columns will automatically become the top and bottom structure without additional processing, which is very convenient.

Use "width", "spacing" and "alignment".

The block editor has style settings associated with each block, and learning to adjust these parameters can make the layout more flexible.

• Width setting: You can choose "Content Width", "Wide", "Full Width" and other modes. If you want the background color to spread over the whole screen, you can use "Full Width".
• spacing: The use of "block spacing" and "inner margins" allows enough white space between elements to make the page look more comfortable.
• Arrangement: The content in the group blocks can be set to be arranged vertically or horizontally, and the content can also be set to be centered, left or right, to adapt to different display needs.

These settings not only affect the visuals, but also allow for better adaptation of the content to different screens.

Enhance Mobile Optimization with "Stacking", "Hiding"

Sometimes we want to show more content on the computer, but it may not be suitable on the phone. Some block editor themes support "hide a block on mobile or desktop" function, so you can flexibly deal with it.

For example:

• Display a banner image on your desktop and replace it with a vertical image on your phone
• Hide redundant text on mobile and keep only the key information
• Make the buttons a little bigger and easier to click on your phone

If you're using a theme or plugin that supports the "show conditions" feature, for example Kadence maybe GenerateBlocks plug-ins that also enable finer control.

Don't forget to test different devices

Once the editor is complete, be sure to view the results on an actual device. While it is possible to preview different devices in the editor, the results on a real phone are more reflective of the problem.

It is recommended to check the page by opening a cell phone, tablet, or different sized browser window:

• Are the images loading properly
• Whether the content becomes top and bottom aligned
• Are the buttons large enough to be easily clicked
• Are the fonts clear and the paragraphs too dense

If the page has tables, image galleries or videos, it is recommended to use the "Adaptive" settings provided by the block to avoid content overflow on small screens.
