Figma to Native WordPress Gutenberg Blocks | Preston VIC

Transform Figma designs into native Gutenberg blocks that load fast, edit intuitively, and match Preston's growing demand for maintainable WordPress sites without bloated builders.

What You'll Get

• Native Block Development - Hand-coded blocks using block.json, PHP render callbacks and React for the editor
• Full Figma Fidelity - Exact spacing, typography and responsive behaviour preserved across all breakpoints
• Editor Integration - Inspector controls, block patterns and reusable templates ready for clients
• Performance Optimised - Scripts enqueued only when blocks are present, under 15KB total per block
• Local Testing - Delivered on a staging site hosted in Melbourne for zero-latency reviews

My Process

1. Step 1: Design Audit - Review Figma layers, auto-layout and component variants to plan block architecture
2. Step 2: Block Scaffolding - Generate block.json, register_block_type and enqueue assets with wp-scripts
3. Step 3: Build & Style - Code frontend markup, editor controls and dynamic PHP rendering
4. Step 4: Delivery - Package blocks as plugin or theme folder, install on your site and provide usage docs

Expert Insights: What Most People Get Wrong

Based on 7 years of experience, here are the critical mistakes I see clients make—and how I fix them:

• Using @wordpress/create-block without cleanup - Most generated blocks ship with unnecessary webpack configs and 40KB+ of unused scripts; I strip everything to the essentials and use only the required dependencies, cutting load time by half on average.
• Hard-coding styles instead of theme.json tokens - This breaks when clients switch themes or update colours; I map every colour and font to the active theme.json so changes propagate site-wide without touching block code.
• Ignoring inner block validation - Blocks with nested content often throw validation errors after minor edits; I implement strict allowedBlocks arrays and save functions that survive reordering and duplication.
• Forgetting server-side rendering - Client-only blocks fail in RSS, REST API and static caching; every block I build includes a PHP render callback so content remains visible even with JavaScript disabled.

When you hire me, you get all this expertise applied directly to YOUR project—saving you time, money, and headaches.
