WordPress CSS Fundamentals
Converting an HTML/CSS design to WordPress is not a simple copy-paste. It requires understanding the WordPress CSS architecture and how themes like GeneratePress and builders like Bricks intercept and extend standard CSS.
GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks
GeneratePress (GP) is a lightweight, highly customizable WordPress theme. GenerateBlocks (GB) is its companion block library. Together, they are built with CSS custom properties at their core—making them ideal for CSS-literate web designers.
Bricks Builder CSS
Bricks Builder is a visual, front-end WordPress theme builder that generates clean CSS directly in the page DOM. It's a powerful platform for applying your CSS knowledge visually.

Gutenberg Block CSS
The WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) generates specific HTML class names and uses theme.json for design tokens. This guide covers how to style Gutenberg blocks in your child theme and integrate your CSS design system with the block editor.
