Understanding the Kadence Design Library

The Kadence Design Library provides a handy toolset for enhancing your WordPress site with pre-designed layouts and blocks.

Accessing the Design Library

To access the Design Library, first, locate the Kadence Design Library icon at the top of your WordPress editor toolbar. By clicking on this icon, you'll reveal the various blocks. Here, you can choose from a bunch of professionally crafted templates, ready to be inserted into your pages or posts with just a few clicks. Check the Kadence documentation for a detailed guide on this process.

The Variety of Available Layouts and Blocks

Within the Design Library, there's an expansive selection of layouts and blocks to explore. These range from prebuilt rows of content, known as Patterns, to comprehensive Page templates. You can browse by category or use the search function to pinpoint the design pattern that fits your needs. Each item in the library is designed to be flexible, allowing you to adjust text, styles, and other elements for a customized look.

Building Pages with Kadence Design Library Blocks

Kadence Blocks provide a way to create custom pages in WordPress by offering design tools that are both modular and easy to use. You can quickly layout pages with structured rows and columns, add text and image content, and enhance the user experience with interactive elements like tabs and accordions.

Choose a Hero Block

To begin constructing your page, start with a hero block. This is the featured image and text that land “above the fold” on a website.

This is an example of a hero block:

Adding Text and Image Blocks

With your rows and columns in place, add text blocks to share content and image blocks to visually enhance your page. Text blocks within Kadence come with full typography controls for a custom look, while image blocks can be adjusted for size, alignment, and spacing.

Incorporating Tabs and Accordions

To present content compactly and efficiently, use tabs and accordions which condense large amounts of information into manageable sections. Tabs are ideal for categorizing content, whereas accordions are perfect for FAQs or step-by-step guides.

• Add a tab block to sort your content into accessible, navigable categories.
• Use accordion blocks to create expandable sections for details that don't require permanent page space.

This is an example of a tab block:

Effortlessly Add Lists

Lists present information in an organized and accessible manner. Utilize Kadence Blocks to add and customize them. This is an example of a list from the Design Library:

The list example shows how you achieve a custom look without all of the work to style the block.

Add a Featured Posts Block

Adding a featured posts block to your homepage helps your readers to navigate your site, and to find the information that they are searching for.
