I will build custom gutenberg blocks for your high performance wordpress site
Chris Li
About this gig
Stop killing your SEO with heavy page builders. If your WordPress site feels sluggish, its likely because of "DOM bloat" from builders like Elementor or Divi. In 2026, Googles Core Web Vitals demand lightning-fast, native performance.
I provide Clean, Native Gutenberg Development. With 20+ years of architectural experience, I don't just "build websites", I engineer high-performance digital assets using Gutenberg Blocks. I build custom React-based blocks that are lightweight, secure, and future-proof.
What You Get
- Custom React Blocks: Tailored UI components built natively for the Block Editor.
- Zero Bloat: No massive CSS files or unused JavaScript libraries.
- FSE & Theme.json: Full compatibility with modern WordPress Full Site Editing.
- Total Control: Custom inspector controls (sidebars) for easy client editing.
Why Me?
Most sellers on Fiverr use "pre-made templates." I write custom code. My approach ensures your site stays fast, ranks higher on search engines, and remains compatible with WordPress updates for years to come.

FAQ
Why choose native Gutenberg blocks over Elementor or Divi?
Speed and SEO. Page builders add massive amounts of "DOM bloat" (unnecessary code), which slows down your site and hurts your Google Core Web Vitals. Native Gutenberg blocks use WordPress's built-in engine, resulting in lightning-fast load times, cleaner code, and better search engine rankings.
Will I still be able to edit my content easily?
Actually, it becomes easier! I build custom "Inspector Controls" into the WordPress sidebar. You’ll be able to toggle features, change colors, and swap images using the native WordPress interface you already know, without the lag of a heavy visual builder.
Can you build blocks that pull dynamic data (like ACF)?
Yes. I specialize in integrating Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or custom post types with Gutenberg. This allows you to manage complex data in the backend while displaying it beautifully and performantly on the frontend.
Do you work with Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch designs?
Absolutely. I can take your high-fidelity designs and convert them into pixel-perfect, responsive Gutenberg blocks. My focus is ensuring the design remains intact while the code remains lightweight.
Is my site "future-proof" with this approach?
Yes. Because I use the native WordPress Block API and modern React standards, your site is built to grow with WordPress. Unlike third-party builders that can break during major updates, native blocks are the "official" way to build for WordPress.
