Blocks conversion services

Website builder getting on your nerves? Convert to GenerateBlocks.

You might already know you want to convert your site to blocks. That’s often where our clients are by the time they get in touch. Usually, it’s because their current builder has started getting in the way. Editing the site feels tedious, and making updates across multiple pages takes way longer than it should. We can rebuild your website in GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, so it loads faster, gives you more control in the editor, and offers a much better structure for adding pages in the future.

No more builder baggage

Why move to a block editing system?

The front end may look familiar. Behind the scenes, though? Much better story.

Better performance

Some builders pile on far more than most websites actually need. Rebuilding the site in GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks can help cut that back, which is good news for speed, load times, and overall performance.

Easier editing

Good block editing means you’re not constantly clicking through clunky builder panels just to make a simple change. It gives you a smoother editing experience and cuts down on the little frustrations that can test your patience.

Quicker site-wide changes

When your site is built properly in blocks, bigger changes get a whole lot easier. If you need to adjust layouts, repeated sections, or styles across multiple pages, you’re not stuck doing the same tedious job over and over.

Room for growth

Some setups are fine until you need to add more pages. Then everything starts feeling manual and repetitive. A blocks-based rebuild gives you a better base for growing the site without rebuilding every layout from scratch.

Same design direction

If you already like how the website looks, there’s no need for a full redesign. We rebuild the whole thing in GenerateBlocks, so you keep the design direction you’ve got, but ditch the builder headaches that come with it.

More visibility

If your current builder is slowing the site down, that can end up working against your SEO too. A faster, leaner website gives search engines less junk to work through, which can help support stronger rankings over time.

How we convert sites to blocks

There’s no magic button for this. We rebuild the site properly, by hand, and make sure the new setup does what it’s meant to do.

Step 1: Review what you’ve got

First, we go through the current site and get clear on what we’re working with. That includes the existing builder, the page structure, and any updates or extras that need to be factored in.

Step 2: Rebuild it in blocks

From there, we manually rebuild the website in GenerateBlocks, carefully translating your design direction, and making small improvements as we go.

Step 3: Check the design

You get a round of revisions to make sure everything has carried over properly and the rebuilt version looks and works the way it should.

What does it mean to convert a website to blocks in WordPress?

It means rebuilding your existing WordPress site using the block system instead of leaving it in a heavier builder.

In our case, we rebuild the site using GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, while keeping the overall look and structure as close as possible to what you already have.

So this isn’t us throwing your whole site in the trash and starting from scratch. It’s more about taking what’s already there and rebuilding it on a cleaner, lighter foundation that performs better and feels easier to manage.

Is this a redesign or just a rebuild?

Usually, it’s a rebuild. That means we’re not creating a brand new look for the site unless that’s been agreed separately. We’re taking the current design and translating it into a better setup using blocks.

Along the way, we might make a few small design tweaks if something obviously needs tightening up, but this isn’t a full redesign process with lots of creative back-and-forth. It’s more about improving the structure underneath and making sure the site translates well.

Can you convert Elementor or Divi sites to blocks?

Yes, for sure.

A lot of Elementor and Divi sites reach the same point eventually. They start feeling heavier, slower, and more awkward to manage than people expected. Performance can dip, the editing experience can get glitchy, and tasks that should be simple somehow turn into a whole thing. That’s usually when people start looking at blocks.

We’ve worked with plenty of sites built in Elementor and Divi, so we’re very used to the kinds of rebuilds that come out of that.

Is there an automatic way to convert to blocks in WordPress?

Not really. Or at least, not if you want the end result to be any good.

There isn’t some miracle one-click tool that will perfectly convert to blocks in WordPress and leave you with a lovely clean website. This is manual work. We rebuild the site carefully, bit by bit, manually. It takes more work, sure. But it also gives you a much better outcome.

Will converting to blocks make our site faster?

A lot of the time, yes.

If your current site is built in a heavier builder, moving to a leaner setup can absolutely help with speed and general performance. That said, we’re not going to promise huge improvements without seeing the site first. Speed depends on more than one thing.

But if the current builder is part of the problem, rebuilding the site in GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks can give you a much cleaner base to work from, which usually puts you in a far better place to optimize for performance.

How long does a block conversion for websites usually take?
That depends on the size of the site and how much is going on inside it.

If it’s a fairly normal site without loads of complexity, we can often get it done in a couple of weeks. If it’s bigger, has more custom pieces, or needs extra work along the way, it may take longer.

We’d always review the site first and get a feel for what’s involved before giving you a clearer idea of timing.

What’s the difference between the Gutenberg block editor, GeneratePress, and GenerateBlocks?

Yeah, this one confuses people a lot at first.

The Gutenberg block editor is just WordPress’s built-in editor. It’s the standard editing system that comes with WordPress.
GeneratePress is the theme. That’s the base your website sits on.
GenerateBlocks is the plugin that gives you better blocks and more layout control inside the editor.

So they’re not all doing the same job, and they’re not competing with each other either.

A simple way to think about it is:

Gutenberg is the editor
GeneratePress is the foundation
GenerateBlocks is what helps you actually build better layouts inside the editor

So when people say they’ve moved to GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, what they usually mean is they’re using WordPress’s native block editor, but with a better theme underneath it and better tools to build with.

Why do you use GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks?

The short answer is because they’re solid.

They’re lightweight, flexible, and built in a way that gives you a lot of control without loading your site up with a pile of extras you didn’t ask for. GeneratePress has been around for years and has a really strong reputation. GenerateBlocks takes a very lean approach too, which we like a lot.

Will we be able to edit the site ourselves afterwards?

Absolutely, and for a lot of people, that’s one of the biggest reasons for doing this.

We get a lot of inquiries from people who are tired of feeling like every little website change is a whole thing. They want to update text, swap images, add pages, or make simple changes without fighting the builder or needing a developer every five minutes.

A better blocks setup usually makes that much easier. We can’t promise you’ll suddenly love editing websites, but it should feel a lot less annoying.

What do you need from us before you start?

Usually, we’d need access to your current website and a chance to properly review what’s there.

We’d also want to know whether this is a straight conversion or whether there’s anything else happening at the same time, like content updates, copy changes, or extra requests that need factoring in.

That way, we can get clear on scope before the rebuild starts instead of discovering halfway through that there’s a whole second project hiding inside the first one.

Can you convert any design into GenerateBlocks?

Pretty much, yes.

As long as the design itself is not doing something wildly unusual, we can usually rebuild it in GenerateBlocks without much trouble. One of the nice things about blocks is how flexible they are. We’ve not run into much that made us think, “Right, that’s impossible.”

So if you’ve got a site you like visually but hate technically, there’s a very good chance we can rebuild it in a cleaner way without losing the look you want to keep.
