Why did we build SlingBlocks?
Truth be told we never intended to build a block plugin.
We at FunnelKit were looking for a plugin that would seamlessly allow our Funnel Builder to provide templates for Gutenberg.
When we began looking at various Block Plugins none of them could match to fit our needs.
WooFunnels had previously integrated with Elementor, Divi and Oxygen and we wanted nothing short of the experience.
SlingBlocks was born.
Combine SlingBlocks with our Funnel Builder and you get a powerful sales funnel building suite using Gutenberg.
Our hope is that it’s not only a companion plugin for WooFunnels but also for your next project.
Looking for templates?
SlingBlocks does not include templates.
