Gutenberg Blocks for Travel Portland

We created a completely customized Gutenberg block library with reusable React components. Travel Portland’s tech team can use this for years to come to integrate seamlessly with their myriad systems and APIs.

Deep editorial integration with external APIs

Smart preview states and definable rules to guide editorial input

Reusable React components for consistency and integration across the entire custom block library

Gutenberg UI

One significant pain point experienced by the editorial staff at Travel Portland was having to constantly guess what the front-end would end up looking like. With dozens of editors, writers, and artists working on many posts, we were able to push past the shortcomings of shortcode soup and finally empower the editors with a clarity of vision for their content.

By integrating with systems like Google Places, Localist, Cloudinary, SimpleView and more – we were able to help Travel Portland launch an industry-leading DMO (Destination Marketing Organization). As one of the only DMOs in the world with a Gutenberg-first website, they’re positioned to move forward confidently into a future made unexpectedly uncertain due to COVID-19. Creating a new website with them that is robust, powerful, and performant was a joy. We’re thrilled to have been able to play a small part in their future success.
