The Crosswinds Framework (along with the FREE Crosswinds Blocks plugin) takes those new tools and makes them even better for you. The Framework gives you patterns that allow you to create entire pages, change the header and footer and customize every template on your site. And the patterns library makes it easy for you to create amazing pages without having to write any code. Plus, the Framework is built with accessibility, performance and responsive design in mind, so you’ll truly be getting the best WordPress site editor experience.
Or you can choose from one of the niche Crosswinds Framework child themes that can help you create an entire website in just minutes.
