The Porto Block Builder allows you to create reusable content blocks that can be used across your website. Instead of rebuilding the same sections repeatedly, you can design a block once and reuse it anywhere, ensuring design consistency and easier maintenance.
Blocks created with Porto Block Builder can be used for banners, content sections, call-to-action areas, popups, headers, footers, and other modular layout parts. The builder works seamlessly with Elementor and WPBakery Page Builder, following Porto’s global typography, color, and spacing settings.
