Simple et Puissant
Ah oui , Gutenberg rend la création de contenu vraiment fluide grâce à son système de blocs clair et à ses options de personnalisation faciles à utiliser ^^

Turn it off as soon as you see it.
The most underrated invention in human history.

Much better than paid themes out there
I would recommend gutenberg as one can easily design beautiful and content-rich websites without needing extensive coding knowledge

I'm a wordpress beginner and the interface doesn't make much sense to me.
