BlockCrate

BlockCrate adds twenty-four blocks to the WordPress block editor. Each one is built on the editor's own design tools rather than a parallel set of controls, so colour, typography, spacing, borders and shadows come from your theme and behave the way core blocks do. The blocks work before their JavaScript loads. The accordion is a native details element, the carousel is a scroll-snap strip, the progress bar renders at its final value, and the tabs fall back to a plain stack of labelled sections. Scripts only ever upgrade what is already there. Blocks

• Accordion — collapsible panels holding any other blocks. Uses native details elements, so keyboard support, screen reader semantics and find-in-page expansion come from the browser. Panels can open one at a time with no JavaScript at all.
• Tabs — horizontal or vertical tabbed panels following the WAI-ARIA tabs pattern, including roving tabindex and arrow key navigation.
• Testimonial Grid — testimonials as a responsive grid or a carousel, with star ratings, avatars from the media library, and initials as a fallback.
• Countdown — counts down to a date and time, with selectable units and a choice of what happens when it ends.
• Info Box — an icon or image with a heading, text and link. The whole card can be made clickable while keeping one meaningful link for screen readers.
• Pricing Table — plans side by side, each with a price, a multi-line description, a feature list and a call to action. Accent colour, card background, borders, corner radius, padding, price size and the button style are all adjustable. One plan can be highlighted, and the badge that names why carries the meaning so it is not left to colour alone.
• Progress Bar — a labelled bar that fills when it scrolls into view, and respects a reduced motion preference.
• Image Slider — images in a swipeable slider, one or several at a time, each with an optional caption and link. The frame shape, the crop and where the caption sits are all adjustable. It can advance on its own, and when it does it pauses on hover and on keyboard focus and never runs at all for a visitor who has asked for reduced motion.
• Page Slider — your published pages, or any other public post type, in a slider built from a live query rather than a copy. Each slide carries the featured image, title and excerpt, and the page it sits on drops out of its own results. Rendered on the server, so it never goes stale.
• Table of Contents — a linked list of the page's headings, rebuilt from the saved content on every view so it never goes stale. Headings without an anchor are given one automatically. Optional numbering and collapsing.
• Timeline — dated milestones or numbered steps, on one side or alternating, each entry holding any blocks.
• Comparison Table — plans or products feature by feature. Type yes or no in a cell for a tick or a cross; any other text shows as written. One column can be highlighted, and a wide table scrolls on a phone.
• Before / After — two images with a draggable divider. The divider is a native slider, so arrow keys work, and without JavaScript the images sit at a fixed split.
• Number Counter — a headline statistic that counts up as it scrolls into view. Screen readers hear only the final number.
• Flip Card — turns over on hover or keyboard focus to reveal more detail and a button on its back.
• Animated Headline — a heading whose highlighted word rotates, slid, faded or typed in. Assistive technology reads one plain sentence.
• Notice — a note, tip, success, warning or important callout holding any blocks, each type with its own icon as well as its own colour.
• Team Member — a photo, name, role and bio, with the person's social profiles through core's Social Icons block. Initials stand in for a missing photo.
• Copy Code — a coupon, licence key or command with a one-click copy button that announces itself to screen readers.
• Icon List — a checklist or feature list with an icon on every item, in one to four columns.
• Marquee — an endlessly scrolling strip of words for announcements or client names. Pauses on hover; still for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
• Star Rating — a score as stars with fractional fills and a caption.
• Shape Divider — a wave, curve, tilt, zigzag or peaks shape between two sections.
• Reading Progress — a thin bar pinned to the top or bottom of the screen that fills as the visitor reads.

Midnight style Every block can switch between a Classic look that follows your theme and Midnight, a dark panel with gold accents. New blocks are inserted in Midnight; one click in the editor's Styles panel switches back. Content saved before the style existed keeps the look it was saved with. Section library A Library button in the editor's top bar opens seventeen ready-made sections — heroes, features, pricing, FAQs, testimonials, team, stats, calls to action and two full pages — with a live preview at desktop, tablet and phone widths. Insert one and change the words. The sections ship inside the plugin and also appear in the editor's own Patterns tab; nothing is downloaded. Icon picker Info Box, Icon List and Flip Card pick their icon from a searchable grid of more than 300 icons in twelve categories. Starting layouts Pricing Table, Testimonial Grid, Info Box, Team Member, Timeline and Comparison Table open with a choice of starting layouts, each shown as a live thumbnail. Settings Settings → BlockCrate switches individual blocks out of the inserter, picks whether new blocks start in Midnight or Classic, and sets the Classic accent colour and corner radius for the whole site. A block switched off keeps working wherever it is already used. Accessibility Interactive blocks are keyboard operable and expose the right roles and states. Decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology, ratings are announced once rather than as a row of glyphs, and every animation is dropped when the visitor prefers reduced motion.
