Grid Block Concept

The WordPress editor is a great writing tool. I’d love to see it become a great layout and design tool, as well. A big part of layout and design is having a grid. The WordPress editor provides a Columns block, but its limited; You can only choose columns and there is no control for spacing. What if there was a Grid block that provided a very easy way to create complex layouts using blocks?

dUse your pointer to click and drag to create areas you can add blocks too. You can resize and move these blocks areas, even overlapping areas to create visually interesting layouts.

With accessibility always on my mind, I explore how this functionality could be utilized with just a keyboard:

Using just your keyboard you can move around the grid and create block areas.
