What do we mean by ‘block’?
A block is the minimum element that makes up any page in Banana.
A block consists of a functional data structure and an interface that allows us to edit it. Any block must be associated to a skin.
All the pages of the website you create will consist of blocks, is a unit of content of the page. Each block is associated with a panel that enables users to add content.
In our Banana there are plenty of blocks at your disposal. This means that you don't need to know how to code to create outstanding web pages, however, if you have experience with HTLM, CSS and JS , you'll be able to fully customize the appearance of each of the blocks you use.
