The blocks
Nine blocks. Nothing you don't need.
Each block solves one specific problem. No bloat, no learning curve, and every one is keyboard-operable and reduced-motion aware. That isn't a Pro feature. That's the floor.

Early voices
Built for people who actually make things.
“The pinned scroll block replaced a 400-line GSAP setup I used to copy between client sites. It just lives in the editor now.”
“My case studies finally move the way my mockups did. Clients think I hired a developer. I dragged in a block.”
“Reduced-motion support out of the box is why I recommend it. Nobody else ships that as the floor instead of an upsell.”
Questions
Asked before you did.
Yes. The blocks ship on WordPress.org under GPL-2.0-or-later: no locked blocks, no watermarks, no instance limits. Free is not a trial. Nothing in the free version expires or gets pulled into Pro later.
The Pro layer: a control center in the editor sidebar for live-tuning all nine blocks, the full Hacks vault, one-click hack-trailer effects, and every future block. One payment, unlimited sites, refundable until the control center ships.
Yes. Basalio blocks are native WordPress blocks. They work with any block theme or classic theme running the block editor. No page builder, no premium theme required.
A single shared script loads only on pages that use a block, and only the blocks on that page are initialized. There is no runtime framework, no jQuery, and no global stylesheet overriding your theme.
Your content stays intact. Blocks degrade to static, semantic markup. Grids stay grids, text stays text. Nothing is stored in a proprietary format.
You are paying for the control center, the Hacks vault, and a direct line to the person building it. Not for permission to use code you could already fork. If Basalio disappears tomorrow, what you have keeps working.
Unlimited sites per license.
Price goes to $249. Founder licenses stay valid, keep every future block and Hack, and are never re-billed.
