Blocksy Theme Review

General Design of Blocksy Themes

Blocksy has multiple demos for various purposes and you can find each one has its own beauty. But generally, Blocksy design is professional, modern and quite creative.

This theme really knows how to use the space to make all the demos look sleek and clear. Besides, the use of animation is adequate to bring a lively but still professional sense.

The use of color is also good. The author didn't overuse any color but he chose the color palette very wisely. He used blue and purple color as the highlight elements, which makes the design elegant and professional, even in the dark demo here:

The typography is also "flawless". The strong and thick fonts combined with the light ones very smoothly, bringing the prominent and polished look.

Responsive Design of Blocksy

Blocksy's display on mobile devices and other devices is quite nice except for the hero image in cellphones. It's cropped and stretched vertically in cellphones so you should carefully choose a proper photo here:

If you're a non-coder and want to instantly set up this free WordPress theme, just use one-click demo import. This feature is ready when you install Blocksy Companion. Just decide which demo to import among 6 free demos and then all you need to do is a click and wait less than one minute. So easy and convenient!

But if you want to try building your website from scratch and you're not a professional user, it'll be complicated. Blocksy is a based theme so people often use it and a page builder, in this case, Elementor, Brizy, or Gutenberg. Therefore, setting up your website maybe not easy for a beginner like me.

As I mentioned earlier, Blocksy's strength is the ability to work perfectly with Gutenberg editor, Elementor, and Brizy. The theme author also recommends many plugins for Gutenberg to gives you more options.

Besides, Blocksy has made many demos for each page builder and the demos can be imported within a click.

Lastly, this free WordPress theme has an intuitive Customizer with many theme options - that's my favorite feature of Blocksy.

Customize Blocksy with the Live Customizer

I can say that the interface of the Blocksy Live Customizer is one of the most easy-to-use ones. It's minimalist, clean, and clear with full customization options.

The way users need to interact with the Customizer is also simple. For example, just click and adjust the bar and you can modify the width, height, size, ... easily.

And one more thing I like about Blocksy Customizer is the Reset button. You can reset the customization whenever and wherever you want while working with the Customizer.

Finally, after installing the Blocksy Companion plugin, there is an extra option that allows you to import/export the customization within one click. This feature is also easy and simple to use.

Customize Blocksy with Gutenberg and Other Page Builders

Because Blocksy itself is a Gutenberg-based theme, you can easily build your own website with all Gutenberg blocks. It even supports the synchronization between the settings in the Customizer with styles in Gutenberg. That means what you set (color, typography) in the Customizer can be seen in Gutenberg editor.

There is even an extra settings table from Blocksy theme. It helps you customize the layout of the specific post/page with an intuitive interface.

Next, if you try building your website with Blocksy and Elementor and Brizy, it's not a bad idea. You can add any elements and customize them from scratch without coding.

You can easily use this free WordPress theme everyday with Gutenberg editor. Write, edit and publish your own content is a piece of cake.

Blocksy does not only display all the common Gutenberg blocks nicely but also adds more outstanding features to some blocks. For example, the button display exactly the same on the back end and front end, even with the animation:

And other settings work well. Like the color and typography settings:

Blocksy has done a good job at optimizing the speed on both computers and mobiles. You can verify it with many available online speed testing tools.

But after checking the SEO optimization with some special methods, I found that not all the demos have been SEO-friendly yet.

Blocksy provides really detailed and sufficient documentation. Also, the search bar will help you use keywords to find the needed instruction in a second.

Moreover, there are video tutorials and FAQs section. So I believe 99% of your issues can be solved by reading the documentation carefully.

You can use the free support ticket to send your request to the support team. The response is often within 1 day.
