Discover the POWER of Gutenberg Gradient Style with Grid Layouts

If you’ve been following the Gutenberg 10-Day Challenge, you know we’ve already covered grids, stacks, and columns. In Day 10, we’re diving into something that will transform your designs: Gradients in Gutenberg.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll learn how to combine gradients with grid layouts to create vibrant sections that make your website look modern — all without plugins or page builders.

What You’ll Learn in This Tutorial

✅ How to add gradient backgrounds to Gutenberg Group Blocks
✅ The difference between Group vs. Cover Block for gradients
✅ How to combine grid, stack, and SVG icons for a polished layout
✅ How to fine-tune padding, spacing, and angles for professional designs

Setting Up the Gradient Base

✅ Start by creating a new page in WordPress (we’ll call it Day 10 – Gradient Style).
✅ Add a Group Block and set it to Full Width.
✅ From the Styles Tab, apply a gradient background instead of a flat color.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Group Block when you only need a gradient color. If you need an image + gradient overlay, use the Cover Block.

Build the Grid Layout

✅ Insert a Grid Block inside the group.
✅ Adjust minimum column width to create exactly 4 columns.
✅ Add 90px padding (top & bottom) for breathing room.

Add Content & SVG Icons

✅ For each column, wrap elements inside Groups for better styling control.
✅ Add SVG icons (crisp & scalable).
✅ Use headings (H3 or H4) and paragraphs with clear font sizes (18px / 14px).

Style Each Item

✅ Add border colors for subtle framing.
✅ Use stack blocks to manage spacing between text & icons.
✅ Apply 30px padding for each item group to create a neat “card” effect.

Fine-Tune the Gradient

Here’s where the magic happens:

✅ Select your Group Block → go to Background → Gradient.
✅ Add two complementary colors.
✅ Adjust the angle (90°–100°) for the right directional flow.

This creates a modern, professional section perfect for services, features, or portfolios.

Responsive Considerations

✅ Gutenberg’s Grid Block automatically stacks on smaller screens.
✅ Adjust min column width for better control on tablets & mobile.

Final Thoughts

This tutorial shows you how powerful native Gutenberg tools can be. With just Group Blocks, Grids, and Gradients, you can create agency-level designs — no plugins, no extra bloat.
