In this in-depth look at the new Twenty Twenty-Four default theme for WordPress, I walk through how to build pages with group blocks, turn those groups into reusable patterns, and use the site editor to customize styles and templates. I compare the WordPress approach to themes like Kadence, show how to work with template parts like headers and footers, edit navigation menus, and leverage the power of the query loop block. While not yet perfect, Twenty Twenty-Four shows the direction WordPress is headed for easy site building without needing page builders or premium themes.
