Description

The easy way to create your own website.

With its powerful tools, the Twentig plugin helps you create a stunning website easily. Customize your block theme and build beautiful pages — no coding or design skills needed.

With starter templates, portfolio features, enhanced Gutenberg blocks, block patterns, and Google Fonts, you’ve got everything you need to build a beautiful website that looks great on any device.

Customize Twenty Twenty-Four or any block theme.

With its essential tools, Twentig helps you customize the Twenty Twenty-Four theme or any block theme built for full site editing.

Starter templates. No need to design your website from scratch. To save you time and effort, import a ready-made website template from our ever-growing library. Explore the available templates, currently exclusive to the Twenty Twenty-Four theme:

Google Fonts. Easily change the look and feel of your website with the Google Fonts of your choice that you can host locally on your server.

Enhanced theme blocks. Twentig extends the Gutenberg blocks that structure your entire site with advanced settings like navigation breakpoint, responsive logo width, menu hover style, and many more.

Additional block patterns. Twentig lets you quickly build your blog, portfolio, header, and footer with pre-built block patterns.

Do more with Gutenberg blocks.

Twentig enhances the existing Gutenberg blocks — taking the WordPress block editor to a new level of design and creativity.

Powerful Gutenberg block features. Twentig provides alternative styles, additional block settings, and CSS classes. From scroll animations to group shape divider to typography settings, you have the best tools to customize the Gutenberg blocks.

Block customization made easy. We’ve added the right amount of features to the Gutenberg core blocks. So you can easily customize your blocks to fit your needs with just a few clicks.

Build your website with ready-to-use patterns.

Twentig brings hundreds of pre-designed block patterns and page templates — making it easier and faster than ever to create stunning pages.

Flexible block patterns. Choose from a variety of versatile block patterns and page templates that you can mix and match to fit your project. Our pattern library is designed to enable a wide range of uses and endless design possibilities.

Professional design. Our patterns are responsive and give your pages a professional look right from the start.

Create a stunning portfolio website

Twentig provides all the WordPress tools you need to easily create a portfolio website that showcases your work online beautifully.

Portfolio post type & taxonomies. With Twentig’s portfolio post type, you can seamlessly manage all your projects in one place. Use the WordPress block editor to build your portfolio pages, add featured images, and assign project categories and tags.

Portfolio block. Display your projects with our powerful yet simple portfolio block. You can customize its query settings, layout, and style. It works just like the Query Loop block — making it a familiar experience.

Portfolio block patterns. Choose from a variety of patterns to showcase your projects including grid, grid overlay, or split layout. Change the design in a single click and select the pattern that fits your needs.

Using the Twenty Twenty-One or Twenty Twenty theme?

If you prefer to use the Customizer instead of full site editing, Twentig offers advanced options to customize the Twenty Twenty-One and Twenty Twenty themes.

Advanced theme customization. From post grid to sidebar to sticky menu to header & footer layouts, our plugin provides endless ways to enhance your WordPress theme. Change the design of your website by customizing the fonts (Google Fonts), site layout, global styles, 404 page, and more.

Custom page templates. Control the look of your entire page with our page templates. Remove the page title, header & footer, or set a transparent header. Now you can use Gutenberg blocks to create a custom hero, landing page, coming soon page, and more.

Starter websites. Instead of starting from scratch, you can quickly import one of Twentig’s Starter Websites.

I appreciate the simplicity of the tool, its efficiency, its lightness and its flexibility, I am impatiently awaiting the new in-house theme to test it
Yuli 26, 2024 5 replies
As someone who wanted to try something new instead of Elementor with twenty twenty-four, this plugin is really quite nice for additional features for editing and designing my page. And when I initally had issues, the developer responded very quickly to help me out. 5 Stars since I not only appreciate the features, but also the support.

Twentig is a great plugin! It made customizing my WordPress site easy and fast. The extra features and style options are excellent, and it works perfectly with my theme. I highly recommend Twentig to anyone wanting to improve their site without any trouble. Great job to the developers.
Maris 25, 2024
I was using another block editor plugin, which brought it’s own blocks and styling. This, as simple as an image are messed up when inserted using core image block, I can’t set the alignment, skewed when the window is narrow like on the phone view. And after deactivated the content created using that plugin and it’s own block are now unknown, unidetable unless it is converted into custom HTML. After finding Twentig, deactivate the previous plugin, things are how it should be again. This is the best approach, not creating new blocks but enhance core blocks with top notch options. Thumbs up!!
