Brigade Blocks Addons

Brigade Blocks Addons extends the WordPress Block Editor with professionally designed blocks, without a page builder. Everything is organised into modules you can switch on or off; a disabled module registers no blocks, scripts or styles. Every block can be styled in depth from the editor's Styles tab — typography, colors, gradients, background images with overlays, borders, per-corner radius, layered box shadows, spacing, sizes, flex and grid layout, position, opacity and visibility — separately for hover, focus and active states and for desktop, tablet and mobile. Only the controls that make sense for each block are shown. Blocks use the Donix design system — coral accent, ink headings, Urbanist type and a single 6px radius — and every value is a CSS custom property your theme can override.
