Introducing Paver for WordPress
You're a WordPress theme developer handed a custom design. You're into modern PHP, Tailwind CSS, and Alpine.js.
WordPress uses the Block Editor (Gutenberg), which can be tough for custom designs, often requiring you to build blocks twice: once for the front-end, once for the editor. Plus, you'd need to learn React, which might not be your jam.
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) is a possible alternative workaround, but it's still not quite perfect for complex designs, as you're still in Gutenberg.
Enter Paver: It's an editor for PHP-loving developers, making Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js integration a breeze. You get:
PHP Focus: No need for React. Isolated Styling: Keeps your custom styles out of the WordPress admin. Controlled Options: Simplifies the editor for end users.
And remember, this isn't a dig at Gutenberg; it's just a different tool for a different job.
