WordPress patterns are pre-made collections of blocks that usually serve a specific purpose, like an “About” page or a “Hero” section. Patterns are one way WordPress democratizes design by making it easy for anyone to benefit from the knowledge of others.

The WordPress Pattern Directory is a foundational collection of useful starting points for anyone to build a the site of their dreams. The Directory website allows anyone to create, submit, and share the patterns they create — contributing to the overall mission of the free and open web, without having to write a single line of code.
