Summary
Patterns are truly powerful and while blocks are incredible, this chapter has shown that when most people plan to create a site, they think in terms of patterns, not single blocks. This is why working and learning to make patterns is a skill that will unlock so much more for you and your content going forward.
Let’s recap what we have covered in our exploration together in this chapter:
- We learned that patterns can be art and viewed some incredible examples of that.
- We learned that whilst artistic patterns are great, if we are creating content for actual use, we need to consider accessibility and how someone might use our pattern.
- We discovered where to go to find inspiration for patterns.
- We learned that it’s not just core blocks that can be used in patterns; through patterns we have access to many themes and plugins.
Now we have all this knowledge about patterns, let’s move on to template parts, templates, and the site itself...
