== Description ==

### The easy way to build a beautiful website with the WordPress block editor.

👉 **Want to try Twentig? [Launch the Playground](https://twentig.com/playground/?utm_source=wp-repo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=playground)**

Twentig gives you simple, powerful tools to design a professional website with the WordPress block editor — no coding or design skills required. Customize your block theme, create polished pages, and build a site that fits your needs.

With starter sites, enhanced WordPress core blocks, block patterns, and portfolio tools, you’ve got everything you need to create a stunning website that looks great on every device.

For the best experience, pair the Twentig plugin with [Twentig One](https://twentig.com/twentig-one/) — our free block theme built for WordPress Full Site Editing. Lightweight and beautifully designed, it gives you a professional foundation right out of the box.

### Starter sites

Start with a professionally designed website, not a blank canvas. Import a ready-made [starter site](https://twentig.com/starter-sites/?utm_source=wp-repo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=starter) from our growing library and make it your own.

Twentig includes starter sites for the Twentig One theme directly in your WordPress dashboard. Import a starter site with one click, then customize the header, footer, homepage, blog, colors, and typography with our Onboarding Customizer.

From there, use the block editor to easily replace the content with your own text and images.

Built-in starter sites for Twentig One:

* [Business Starter](https://twentig.com/starter-site/business-starter/)
* [Portfolio Starter](https://twentig.com/starter-site/portfolio-starter/)
* [Blog Starter](https://twentig.com/starter-site/blog-starter/)

Twentig also includes starter sites for the Twenty Twenty-Five and Twenty Twenty-Four themes.

### Enhanced WordPress blocks

Twentig enhances WordPress core blocks — giving you more design flexibility and creative control in the block editor.

**Powerful block features.** Twentig adds new settings, alternative styles, and CSS classes to the existing WordPress blocks. From scroll animations, hover effects, and image shapes to gallery sliders, button icons, video lightboxes, and fully clickable blocks — you’ve got everything you need to build modern, professional pages.

**No extra blocks. Just better ones.** Instead of cluttering the block editor with additional blocks, Twentig enhances WordPress core blocks with essential features for a more intuitive editing experience, greater creative freedom, and no lock-in.

Twentig extends the following WordPress blocks:
