What is full site editing?

“

- Picture this. It's the 21st century and you want to have the latest and greatest website on the internet, but there are a few issues. You either don't have the time to spend days coding intricate pages from scratch, or you don't know how to code at all. What if I told you these days, that doesn't matter. Gone are the days of depending on an expert coder for new website or minor changes to your existing one. I present to you full site editing or as it's commonly known, FSE. FSE represents a major shift in the way we build websites, specifically in WordPress. FSE at its core is a feature that allows you to build and edit all parts of your website using blogs. This includes headers, footers, sidebars, and everything in between, not just the content on your post or pages. Unlike traditional methods that often break up the editing process, FSE provides a connected experience. It utilizes blocks, the basic building elements for every part of your website. This means you can easily design, customize, and modify your entire website using a simple, intuitive drag and drop interface. Why is this revolutionary? For starters, it democratizes web design. You no longer need to know how to code to create stunning, functional websites. FSE also streamlines the design process, making it faster and more efficient to bring your vision to life. Whether you're building a blog, an e-commerce site, or a portfolio, FSE offers in parallel flexibility and control. Customize every detail from the layout to the typography and even the site's overall functionality, all without touching a single line of code. As we embark on this course, we'll explore the ins and outs of full site editing, from the basics of block-based design to making complete site sections, I'm here to guide you through every step of the process. Now, get ready. Before today, you may or may not have been able to call yourself a web developer, but after this course you will. Up next, we're going to jump right into working on how to navigate the full site editing interface.
