Am I locked to a layout once it’s been built?
It depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you want to maintain a consistent brand identity across your website, you can lock down the layout and design elements.
However, if you want to give content creators more flexibility and design freedom, you can allow them to customise certain aspects of the layout within predefined guidelines.
Can I lock my content creators to a certain flow?
Yes, you can control the flow of content on your website using various techniques. You can create custom post types and taxonomies to organise your content, and use plugins to restrict access to certain areas of your website.
Do I have to use the Gutenberg editor?
No, you don’t have to use the Gutenberg editor. WordPress offers the Classic Editor as an alternative. You can also use plugins like Classic Editor Block or Block Lab to customise the Gutenberg editor to your liking.
So, what are the alternatives?
- The Classic Editor is the primary alternative to Gutenberg. It offers a more traditional WYSIWYG editing experience.

This gives you more control over the layout and design of your content. FunFest is a great example of a website that uses ACF Blocks to create unique and engaging content.
