Page & Block Builder

Compose public pages using blocks, rows, columns, and pre-built sections from the dashboard.

Overview

The OpeNext dashboard includes a visual page builder. Editors arrange content using blocks — heroes, cards, navbars, text, rows, and columns — without writing code.

Block types

  • Layout: Row, Column
  • Content: Text, Card, Button
  • Sections: Hero, Feature trio, Navbar, Blog feed
  • Each block supports inline styles; theme tokens fill unstylized defaults

Workflow

  • Open the dashboard and select or create a page
  • Drag blocks from the palette onto the canvas
  • Reorder and nest blocks inside rows and columns
  • Preview changes and publish when ready

Theming interaction

Blocks use the active site theme via CSS variables. Per-block inline styles always win; unset properties inherit from the Theme Builder configuration.
