Scintilla Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks, Page Builder & Block Editor Library

Details
View on WordPress

Scintilla Blocks is a lightweight Gutenberg blocks library and page builder for the WordPress block editor. Build landing pages, FAQ sections, hero areas, service grids, testimonial sliders, and full website layouts with 13 advanced custom blocks — no shortcodes, no third-party page builders, no bloat.

Every block ships with responsive controls (desktop / tablet / mobile), typography, colors, backgrounds, borders, hover effects, and an advanced section for margin, padding, z-index, and CSS ID. A central admin dashboard lets you enable or disable any block and configure global breakpoints.

Why Scintilla Blocks

  • Native Gutenberg — built on the WordPress block API. No iframes, no canvas hacks, no separate editor.
  • Full Site Editing (FSE) ready — works in the post editor, the site editor, templates, and template parts.
  • Responsive everywhere — every spacing, typography, and layout control has Desktop / Tablet / Mobile tabs.
  • Zero front-end bloat — inline CSS only emitted for blocks that have values set; no jQuery, no global stylesheet.
  • Admin dashboard — toggle each block on or off and configure tablet / mobile breakpoints from one screen.
  • Translation-ready — full text domain support, GPL-2.0-or-later licensed, WordPress.org coding standards.

Included Blocks

  • Container — Elementor-style flex and grid container with backgrounds (color, gradient, image), borders, box-shadow, responsive spacing, and inner blocks support. Build any section, hero, or column layout.
  • Heading — advanced heading block (H1–H6) with responsive typography, gradient text, text-shadow, letter spacing, and link controls.
  • Paragraph — advanced paragraph / rich-text block with responsive font size, line height, drop cap, and column count.
  • Button — advanced button with icons, hover animations, gradient backgrounds, custom typography, border radius per corner, and link target.
  • Image — advanced image with responsive dimensions, CSS filters (blur, grayscale, brightness), hover effects, mask, and lightbox-ready markup.
  • Icon — Font Awesome icon block with size, color, rotation, and SVG upload support.
  • Image Box — image + heading + description + button card with flexible layout (top / left / right), hover effects, and full styling.
  • Icon Box — Font Awesome icon with title, description, and call-to-action — great for feature grids and services sections.
  • Icon List — repeatable icon-list block with per-item icons, dividers, link support, and inline / stacked layout.
  • Counter — animated number counter with prefix / suffix, easing, and responsive typography. Perfect for stats sections.
  • Testimonial Carousel — Swiper.js-powered testimonial slider with repeater items, star ratings, author image, autoplay, navigation, and pagination.
  • Accordion — FAQ-style accordion with multiple toggle items, expand / collapse icons, and full container styling.
  • Accordion Item — child block for the Accordion, with rich-text title and inner-blocks body content.

Page Builder Features

  • Drag-and-drop inside the native block editor — reorder, nest, duplicate, copy / paste styles.
  • Per-block Layout, Style, and Advanced tabs.
  • Responsive Padding and Margin on every block — set different values for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile.
  • Background color, gradient, and image with position, size, repeat, and overlay.
  • Border controls per corner with radius, width, color, and box-shadow.
  • Typography — font family, weight, size, line height, letter spacing, text transform, decoration, and shadow — all responsive.
  • Hover effects — color, background, transform, transition duration.
  • Z-index, CSS ID, and additional class for advanced layouts.

Built for Performance

  • No external CSS / JS loaded unless a block is actually used on the page.
  • No jQuery dependency on the front end.
  • Inline <style> per block, scoped by unique ID — no global selector pollution.
  • Lazy-loaded Swiper for the testimonial carousel only when present.
