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 😽 👉 https://blocsapp.com

@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?

As someone with literally no coding experience, I LOVE Blocs. I could have done my site myself in blocs, but I wanted to hire a designer for type, layout, and customization work that I didn't have the time or design experience to figure out myself. Blocs allowed me to do a rough design my website myself, get an idea of what I liked and didn't like design wise, then use a pro to polish it and make the design decisions I made look really beautiful and utterly custom. Looking at the finished site, there is NO WAY you could ever tell it was assembled in a "builder app." And because Blocs allowed me to figure out the structure of the website and collect all the content into a general layout, it saved me a massive amount of money even with the decision to hire a pro. Plus, now that all the design has been done, Blocs makes it super simple for me to update the site and keep it current myself... still with no coding knowledge.

This looks great, been looking for something like this which is pay to own rather than subscription-based. Shame it's macOS only, though!

I'm a filmmaker who is curious and passionate about design and storytelling for web. Blocs made it possible for someone like me who is not developer or even attended coding course to build website from scratch. The community they've built online is amazing and helpful. I like to see blocs improved and developed further and become upto date with latest features that enable us to make even greater experience.

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.

Excellent website builder with a clear interface and works as well for newcomers to web development as it does to seasoned professionals - accelerates web development and now wordpress theme creation! Has an active and helpful community and a responsive developer.

After many products tried to built sites, Blocs is now number 1 for me.

Blocs is currently the best option for web design on the Mac in the middle ground between Dreamweaver on the challenging side and something like Universe on the easy side. There is a bit of a learning curve to get the most out of Blocs, but you'll get good results quickly as a new user.

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!
Norm
@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.

Very simple/powerful web builder. I gotta say, it's hard for a programmer like me to actually be impressed by a visual builder, but this hits the spot of webflow-like functionality faster and with a better payment plan. Congrats on the launch!
Jerry Leonard
Huge fan of what you guys are doing
Joshua Akins
Very cool, congrats on the launch.

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.

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.

This looks very cool. Congratulations and very well presented with an amazing looking UI and UX!

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)!!!
