Blocs for the Mac, is a fast, intuitive and powerful visual web design app, that lets you create responsive websites and Wordpress themes without writing code.
Hi Producthunt! 🥳
I'm so excited to introduce Blocs 4, the latest version of our powerful #NoCode web design tool, built for the Mac.
Blocs works on the concept of stacking pre-built sections to create fully coded, responsive websites. It’s incredibly fast and a very natural way to build.
Intuitive visual styling controls let you customise the finest details, apply eye catching scroll animations and integrate powerful user interactions.
But that’s not all! 🙀
We also offer a Plus version of Blocs that lets you create, "real" custom Wordpress themes, without writing code.
Blocs works offline 😺, looks gorgeous 😻 and is a one of price to build as many websites and Wordpress themes as you like. No Subscription 😽

@normsheeran I've used Blocs for a year or so and it was one amazing software. I'm a full stack developer so I've used it mostly to build simple sites quickly. The community is nice and helpful. @eldargezalov contributed a lot there. Wish all the best with the new version Norm!

@normsheeran Is it possible to buy Blocs Plus later?

Hey Norm,
Beautiful website and product, congrats! Where would you say this sits in terms of competing against Webflow / Squarespace / Wix?
I added some product feedback here: https://app.usebolt.io/board/seM...
Great stuff!
@boltfeedback thanks for the feedback.
Without getting too detailed on feature comparisons. Blocs Lets you create unlimited websites or Wordpress themes (if you expand to Blocs Plus) with no subscription. Blocs is also a native Mac app, this means it runs offline for those wanting to build websites from anywhere, anytime 😎.
Blocs sits somewhere between Wix and Webflow, it's more powerful than Wix and offers a very user friendly approach to building, meaning the learning curve is more forgiving than that of Webflow.
Imagine Webflow was easier to use and Wix was more powerful, well, thats where Blocs fits in.
Thanks for your interest.
I have tried almost all website builder tools available on the market, and the Blocs app has been my favorite one, by far.
It is very simple and enjoyable to use even for somebody like me, who doesn’t know how to code. I have literally built hundreds of websites without writing a line of code.
The new version (Blocs 4) looks a lot like the previous one, but there is so much new under the hood, I’m learning more and more new features everyday.
WordPress support is also cool. Honestly, I’m not a big fan of the WordPress, but I’m sure people are going to love building WP themes with Blocs 4 Plus.

An excellent web design app based around Bootstrap that allows for development with various CMS and exports fast loading themes for WordPress. I have used various other web design apps over the last 20 years and Blocs is just a generally more productive way to spend your day.

A great development tool that allows quickly creating responsive web sites without coding. Probably the best tool of it's kind on the Mac. Keep up the great work Norm (developer)!!!

Blocs is an absolute amazing app to create websites. You can create stunning looking websites without a single line of coding. With a incredible forum with dedicated Blocs users you can get answers on questions real quick. There is also a store where can get add-ons (free and paid) to create even better looking websites.

Blocs is a really great websitebuilder – and I tried a lot! You have on the one hand almost complete freedom of designing a website from scratch very fast and on the other hand you can tweak every single style to fit also the most picky customer's needs... ;-)
And the best: no dependency on webservices (webflow, etc.) and no subscriptions, just a one time payment for an app! How lovely oldskool and fair!
Really love Blocs and use since version 2! The Community is very responsive and Norm does really a great job squashing bugs and adding new features, somethimes with weekly updates!

I'm an experienced coder, but I still love Blocs. I can get ideas out very fast and it puts out clean code.
Blocs is like a native Mac version of your favorite Wordpress page builder, except there's no sluggish admin pages and bloated HTML to deal with. If you need clean code and fast sites or landing pages Blocs is great for that.
It's also great for designing themes that you will implement into a CMS's like Drupal, Django or Wordpress.
