DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy is “block oriented designing” (BOD) which means attaching everything related to a block to itself. By doing that, we can manage things related to an individual block easily and when removing a block, everything that is plugged into it, including server side scripts, client scripts, css and text definitions, will be completely removed as well. This will give a huge impact on improving the performance of websites and also saving the time for developers to not find and clean codes manually like before.

Moreover, we also want to get rid of the era when we treat users like babies by providing them inputs for everything. In the DragBlock, we provide users with dictionaries so they can grasp their layout properties completely without being smashed by a flood of many different kinds of inputs.

In summary, DragBlock empowers users to create professional-looking websites like an expert designer effortlessly with a fresh feeling of managing blocks with simplicity. Everything can be done within the Gutenberg editor, ushering in a new era of Full Site Editing with the DragBlock plugin.
