This week I’m using Advanced Custom Fields to create a bespoke page-builder for my big WordPress project. I’m leaning on the ‘clone’ functionality and nested template parts to make it super modular, rather the bunging everything into one sprawling repeater field as I’ve seen on other sites. I think too often developers try to make page-builders cover every possibility under the sun, but my aim is to carefully construct a small but versatile range of reusable blocks that always adhere to the client’s brand guidelines, letting them focus on messaging instead of design whenever they add a new page.
