Custom WordPress Theme, Gutenberg Blocks & Responsive Layouts for Multi-Theme Ecosystem
About the Project
This project involved the sequential rollout of three distinct custom WordPress themes for the Enlivy brand ecosystem. Working directly from specific Figma designs, my dedicated role was to engineer a comprehensive suite of custom Gutenberg blocks using the proprietary Enlivy Kit. I focused strictly on translating the visual designs into pixel-perfect, highly responsive layouts, ensuring that each of the three websites delivered a flawless user experience across all devices.

Scaling a Brand Ecosystem
As the Enlivy brand expanded its digital footprint, they gradually rolled out three separate websites, each with its own distinct visual identity and Figma designs.
The core challenges for the frontend execution included:
- Visual Consistency: Ensuring that despite being developed gradually, each new theme maintained the exact same high standard of pixel-perfect fidelity to the original Figma designs.
- Responsive Integrity: Each site featured complex UI components that needed to translate flawlessly from desktop to mobile viewports without breaking the layout or compromising the design.
Custom Block Engineering & Layout Precision
To solve these challenges, I focused strictly on modular frontend development using native WordPress capabilities. My technical execution involved:
- Custom Gutenberg Block Development: Instead of relying on rigid templates or heavy page builders, I utilized the Enlivy Kit to build a versatile library of custom Gutenberg blocks for each theme.
- Pixel-Perfect Layouts: I meticulously translated the static Figma designs into functional HTML and SCSS. My priority was exact layout replication—ensuring all typography, spacing, and structural elements matched the designer's vision perfectly.
- Strict Responsive Optimization: A major part of my workflow was dedicated to cross-device testing and adjustment. I wrote custom media queries and optimized flexbox/grid layouts to guarantee that every custom block adapted fluidly to mobile phones, tablets, and large desktop screens without content overlap or scaling issues.
Results & Impact
By focusing on modular block development and layout precision, the gradual rollout of the three platforms was a technical success:
- Flawless Cross-Device Rendering: All three websites boast a 100% responsive, pixel-perfect display, providing a premium user experience regardless of the device used.
- Seamless Content Management: The Enlivy content team now manages three distinct websites using the exact same intuitive, modular Gutenberg logic, drastically reducing the time spent on content entry.
- High-Performance UI: Because the layouts were built using optimized custom blocks rather than bloated third-party plugins, the frontend remains lightweight and fast.
