HTML design into content editing in minutes, no coding needed

Using the novel Blocks Edit visual theme editor to setup content management from your custom design

#web #email #landing-pages

Setting up your design in an editor for producing content usually requires two parts. Your HTML code for your design, and the template code setup for the editing tool you’ll be using. Traditionally, this template setup process can take many hours, over a period of days, weeks, or even months.

In Blocks Edit, I’ll be showing you how this setup process can take minutes. With no need to touch any code!

Instant content editing

Start by importing your HTML design. Editing options are added automatically for all text and images. Change settings for each element, or disable them from being editable.

Using placeholder content in your design helps provide guidelines for best practices for your design.

Natural modular components

Turn your content into modular pieces to build from. Divided into sections and components that work with any design.

Sections stack on top of each other to build a layout. Components are added among content elements. Like titles and buttons.

Easy to maintain design updates

Any design changes you make to your template will get updated for all of your pages. And optionally, for each of your emails.

You can export your design with editing options intact so you can make changes to your design and import it back in. Or you can use the built-in code editor. Editing options are added as HTML classes and attributes that don’t mess with your design layout.

It’s very easy to maintain updates over time and avoid technical debt.

Ready to build from

Your team will be able to drag and drop components and edit content directly inline. Images are automatically formatted for them based on your template.

Within minutes you and your team are ready to start building web pages, landing pages, digital forms, marketing emails, and more.

And that's how to setup your design in Blocks Edit and start building content.
