About this theme
Inside Scintilla Blocks – Advanced Gutenberg Blocks Plugin for WordPress
Scintilla Blocks adds 13 engineered Gutenberg blocks – Container, Heading, Paragraph, Button, Image, Icon, Image Box, Icon Box, Icon List, Counter, Testimonial Carousel, Accordion and Accordion Item – so you can build layouts in the native editor without a page builder.
Every block renders server-side into clean, semantic HTML with scoped inline CSS no builder wrapper markup, no jQuery, no global stylesheet forced onto pages that don’t need it. Font Awesome, Swiper and the animation engine load only when a block that uses them is on the page, keeping page speed and Core Web Vitals where they belong.
A block library that replaces your page builder
- Container an Elementor-style flex and CSS Grid section with content width, gap, min-height, alignment, wrap, order and z-index controls at every breakpoint. Layer on gradients, background images, self-hosted or YouTube background video with an image fallback, and colour overlays with CSS blend modes.
- Heading and Paragraph responsive typography blocks with Google Fonts, letter and word spacing, line height, text transform, text stroke, text shadow, hover colours and inline links.
- Button call-to-action block with icons, hover states, per-corner border radius and full padding control.
- Image and Image Box responsive dimensions, object-fit, CSS filters (blur, brightness, contrast, saturation, hue-rotate), hover effects and captions.
- Icon, Icon Box and Icon List a searchable Font Awesome icon picker with 500+ curated icons, custom SVG upload, framed icon views, and repeater lists with per-item links and dividers.
- Counter animated number counter with prefix, suffix, thousand separators and count duration.
- Testimonial Carousel a Swiper-powered review slider with star ratings, autoplay, loop, pause on hover, custom arrows, styled pagination and responsive slides-per-view.
- Accordion collapsible toggle sections with expand/collapse icons, single-open mode and optional FAQPage JSON-LD schema output for rich results in Google Search.
Built for control, speed and SEO
- True responsive editing Desktop, Tablet and Mobile tabs on virtually every control, synced to the editor’s device preview.
- Custom breakpoints set your own tablet and mobile widths from Global Settings; every block re-renders against them.
- Motion effects 35+ entrance animations (fade, slide, zoom, bounce, rotate, flip) with duration and delay, plus CSS transforms and hover animations.
- Advanced tab on every block margin, padding, custom CSS with a `{{WRAPPER}}` selector, custom ID and class, z-index and hide-on-device visibility toggles.
- Text highlighter a rich-text toolbar format for colour and background highlighting.
- Admin dashboard enable or disable widgets individually so you load only what your site uses.
- Developer-friendly escaped, translation-ready PHP, no external CDN calls, GPL-2.0-or-later, and compatible with Full Site Editing.
Whether you build client sites, run an agency, or maintain your own business website, Scintilla Blocks gives you page-builder-level design freedom inside Gutenberg with markup lean enough to pass a performance audit.

Before you buy
Questions about Scintilla Blocks – Advanced Gutenberg Blocks Plugin for WordPress
Do I need Elementor, Divi or another page builder?
No. Scintilla Blocks works entirely inside the native WordPress block editor and replaces the layout, styling and motion controls you'd normally reach a builder for.
Will it slow down my website?
No. Styles are generated per block and scoped to that block only, and libraries like Swiper and Font Awesome are conditionally enqueued pages without those blocks never download them.
Can I set different padding for mobile and desktop?
Yes. Almost every spacing, sizing, typography and alignment control has separate Desktop, Tablet and Mobile values, and you can define your own breakpoints.
Can I upload SVG icons?
Yes. SVG uploads are enabled for the media library, and every icon-capable block accepts custom SVGs alongside Font Awesome icons.
Can I add my own CSS?
Yes. Every block includes a Custom CSS field that supports the `{{WRAPPER}}` placeholder to target that specific block instance.
