Groundworx Testimonial gives you a dedicated testimonial post type plus flexible blocks that fit seamlessly into the WordPress Block Editor.
You can display testimonials in two ways: 
– Query Loop – pull multiple testimonials automatically from the CPT. 
– Standalone block – insert a single block and select which testimonial post to display.
Each testimonial supports a quote, author, citation (e.g. company), and photo. The main Testimonial block also includes schema markup for SEO, helping search engines recognize and display your reviews.
<h4>Editing Experience</h4>
When you add a new testimonial in the admin, the editor is streamlined for this purpose: 
– The main block is a Testimonial Quote. 
– In the right sidebar, open the block settings panel (click the controls icon with sliders) to access fields for Author name, Citation (such as a company or title), and Photo.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
Custom Post Type + Fields 
Manage testimonials in one place with quote, author, citation, and photo fields.
Native Gutenberg Blocks 
Insert testimonials directly in the Block Editor—no shortcodes or legacy templates needed.
Main Testimonial Block 
Full testimonial with schema support for SEO.
Individual Field Blocks 
Use Author, Citation, Quote, and Photo as standalone blocks if you want to design custom layouts.
Flexible Display Options 
– Show multiple testimonials in a Query Loop. 
– Drop in a single block and select which testimonial to feature.
Accessible Markup 
Semantic HTML with proper <code><blockquote></code>, <code><figure></code>, and <code><figcaption></code> for screen readers and SEO.
Theme.json Integration 
Typography, spacing, colors, and borders inherit from your theme.json design tokens.

Theme Designer is a powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to create and manage block themes (FSE themes) without writing a single line of code. It provides an intuitive interface to configure all theme settings that are typically defined in the <code>theme.json</code> file.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Visual Theme Builder: Create new themes with a simple form interface</li>
<li>Complete Settings Management: Configure all theme.json settings through an intuitive admin panel</li>
<li>Theme Metadata: Set theme name, description, author, version, and other metadata</li>
<li>Screenshot Management: Upload and manage theme screenshots</li>
<li>Color Palettes: Define custom color palettes and gradients</li>
<li>Typography Settings: Configure font families, sizes, and fluid typography</li>
<li>Spacing & Layout: Set up spacing scales, layout sizes, and user controls</li>
<li>Border & Shadow: Define border styles, radius, and shadow presets</li>
<li>Background Controls: Configure background image and positioning options</li>
<li>Theme Export: Download your themes as installable ZIP files</li>
<li>Theme Duplication: Easily duplicate existing themes as starting points</li>
<li>WordPress Defaults: Choose to include or exclude WordPress default settings</li>
</ul>
<h4>What Gets Created</h4>
When you create a theme with Theme Designer, it automatically generates:
<ul>
<li>Theme Directory Structure: Complete theme folder with all necessary files</li>
<li>style.css: Theme header with all metadata</li>
<li>theme.json: Complete configuration file with all your settings</li>
<li>Templates: Basic <code>index.html</code> template for the main content area</li>
<li>Template Parts: <code>header.html</code> and <code>footer.html</code> parts for site structure</li>
<li>Screenshot: Theme preview image (if uploaded)</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open Theme Designer: In the admin panel go to “Design” → “Theme Designer”</li>
<li>Create Theme: Fill out the theme metadata form</li>
<li>Configure Settings: Use the visual interface to set up colors, typography, spacing, etc.</li>
<li>Preview & Test: Your theme is immediately available in the WordPress admin</li>
</ol>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Developers who want to quickly prototype themes</li>
<li>Designers who prefer visual tools over code</li>
<li>Agencies creating custom themes for clients</li>
<li>WordPress users who want to create their own themes</li>
<li>Theme shops looking to streamline theme creation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Integration with Site Editor</h4>
Themes created with Theme Designer work seamlessly with the WordPress Site Editor. You can:
<ul>
<li>Customize templates and template parts visually</li>
<li>Add custom styles through the Site Editor interface</li>
<li>Override theme settings on a per-page basis</li>
<li>Create additional templates and parts as needed</li>

</ul>
