- Stack at custom breakpoint (phone, tablet, or laptop)

- Overlay color and opacity controls
- Duotone image filters
- Full typography and spacing controls
Perfect for:
- Long-form content with visual anchor
- Editorial layouts
- Feature descriptions with detailed copy
- Storytelling sections
- Service pages with extended descriptions
Why Groundworx Core?
Long-form content that demonstrates scroll:
Build client sites faster with professional WordPress blocks and extensions. No page builder bloat, no proprietary systems, just modern WordPress standards.

Set your responsive breakpoints once. Every block respects them automatically. No more managing responsive behavior across dozens of individual blocks.
Extensions to Core Blocks
WordPress core blocks get professional controls—stack columns, set widths per breakpoint, sticky positioning, text alignment per device, and more.
Custom Blocks Built for Real Work
Accordion, Tabs, Cards, Heros—every block designed for actual client projects, not just demos. Clean code, semantic HTML, accessible by default.
Performance First
No jQuery, no legacy code. Performance-optimized video loading, CSS-based animations, minimal JavaScript. Fast sites without compromise.
