In response to the recent controversy about how long WordPress.org’s new homepage and download page designs should take to implement, Gutenberg YouTuber Jamie Marsland decided to try his hand at recreating it with the block editor.
Matt Mullenweg had commented on the plans for the new designs moving into development, saying that it should have taken “hours not weeks to implement.” His most incendiary comments, that fired up a subsequent conversations about the realities of working with the block editor, referenced WordPress’ competitors.
“It’s such a basic layout, it’s hard to imagine it taking a single person more than a day on Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, or one of the WP page builders,” Mullenweg said.
