CrocoBlock Review 2024

Crocoblock Review: The Ultimate Toolkit for Building Websites With WordPress

WordPress users can sometimes find it challenging to implement specific features without having to code or find specific plugins.

I usually use tools like Elementor or Beaver Builder to create visually appealing designs or advanced page builders like Divi. In some cases, Elementor’s built-in features don’t suffice, which leads me to hire a developer or learn custom development.

This is where Crocoblock’s strengths lie, as the suite extends the capabilities of WordPress websites.

Unlike standalone solutions, Crocoblock provides an integrated ecosystem of plugins that work seamlessly together.

With this integration, you can combine various plugins from the Crocoblock suite to create highly customized websites with all kinds of features.

They include dynamic content, custom post types, advanced forms, eCommerce integrations, and more.

This allows us to build unique, feature-rich websites without extensive coding knowledge.

To give you a better understanding of the value Crocoblock offers, we’ll cover:

3. How to edit website content

Crocoblock Overview

Some people compare the Crocoblock plugin suite with Elementor Pro as if they were interchangeable.

That may have been true when it was first released. But Crocoblock has evolved significantly, becoming a powerful solution that goes above and beyond Elementor Pro.

If you choose the All-Inclusive Crocoblock plan, you’ll get:

• 20 JetPlugins
• 200 Widgets
• 14 Dynamic templates and 47 niche skins
• The stylish Kava starter theme.

Let’s take a closer look at the Crocoblock suite.

JetPlugins

Subscribe to Crocoblock and you’ll get access to over 200 widgets, templates, and plugins for creating amazing websites.

You also get exclusive tutorials, resources, and support from Crocoblock’s team of experts.

Let’s start with the plugins.

The JetPlugins suite includes 20 plugins for managing and creating WordPress websites.

They have been designed to allow you to create dynamic websites that enhance functionality and streamline workflows.

JetPlugins includes:

• JetElements
• JetTricks
• JetEngine
• JetSmartFilters
• JetBooking
• JetAppointment
• JetWooBuilder
• JetProductGallery
• JetCompare&Wishlist
• JetPopup
• JetReviews
• JetMenu
• JetBlocks
• JetSearch
• JetBlog
• JetTabs
• JetStyleManager
• JetThemeCore
• JetGridBuilder
• JetFormBuilder

You can buy these plugins individually or buy the whole suite.

With the Crocoblock plugin suite, you’ll get a dedicated menu in your WordPress dashboard to manage everything from there.

Plugins can be installed, activated, updated, and deleted from this menu, making it easy to manage your site.

Dynamic Templates

Crocoblock’s Dynamic Templates provide pre-designed, pre-coded Elementor templates.

Each template is crafted to fit various niches. They also install essential plugins automatically, which is one less thing for you to do.

With an All-Inclusive plan, templates are included at no additional cost, making them a valuable resource for creating visually appealing websites.

200 Widgets

Crocoblock offers 200 widgets for Elementor, allowing you to create unique and engaging elements on your website.

Now, let’s install Crocoblock.

Crocoblock Wizard Installation

It all begins by installing the Wizard plugin. Right after I paid for my All-Inclusive membership, I received an email with a Wizard download link.

You can download it directly from your Crocoblock account if you prefer.

The Crocoblock Wizard is available under the Installation block in your account area, along with themes, plugins, and demo content.

For now, download the installation file so we can upload it to WordPress.

Installing the Wizard plugin is no different from installing any other WordPress plugin.

Go to your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New.

Then click the “Upload Plugin” button, select the Crocoblock Wizard archive, and click “Install Now.”

It takes a few clicks to install and activate the plugin.

After that, you will get installation options, including Full Crocoblock installation, export skin, import skin, or interactive popup library (it includes sales and discount pop-ups for all the holidays: Halloween Sale, Christmas Sale, Winter Sale, St. Patrick’s Day Sale, Easter Day Sale, Birthday Sale, etc.).

Before you can do that, click the “Let’s Go” button.

When you see the next screen, enter the license key in the designated field and click Get Started.

I received mine in the “Thank you for your purchase” email.

If you’re using an All-Inclusive subscription plan (or higher), you’ll be prompted to choose between Full Crocoblock installation and Jet Plugins installation.

For other subscription packages, you’ll proceed directly to selecting plugins.

Following the Full Crocoblock installation, I selected the Kava starter theme (you can choose any other you like.)

If you already have a theme installed, click the “Continue with your current theme” button.

Next, you’ll be advised to use a child theme because it’s the safest way to make future modifications.

Next comes the most interesting part, installing templates.

With just a few clicks, you can install a predefined niche dynamic template with all the necessary pages, forms, and configurations to get your website up and running.

If you don’t want to spend days setting up each page from scratch, you can install and customize a dynamic template that fits your niche.

Installing the template takes a few minutes, depending on your internet speed, since all parts and plugins must be downloaded from the cloud.

Each dynamic template is a complete website complete with demo content that can be easily edited.

In one of the previous steps, I chose Full Crocoblock installation instead of Jet Plugins installation.

If you choose the second option, you can install plugins one by one or in bulk.

If you don’t know which plugins you’ll need, check out the documentation to understand what they can do.

After completing all installation steps, you’ll see a “congratulations” screen.

Now the Crocoblock plugins have been installed, it’s time to customize your website!

How To Edit Your Website With Crocoblock

I’d like to introduce you to some of the most notable JetPlugins that, in my opinion, can create just about any website you can imagine.

JetEngine

With JetEngine, you can create listings, custom post types, meta boxes, taxonomies and anything you like.

To define post titles, labels, hierarchies, and additional metadata, go to JetEngine > Post Types.

You can also customize taxonomies and layouts to curate content that resonates with your audience or design requirements.

JetEngine adds a bunch of dynamic widgets to help create engaging post templates that showcase specific content.

With JetEngine, you can turn WordPress into a flexible, fully customized content management system.

Elementor and JetEngine fit together like a glove. JetEngine enables you to build your website’s core features, and Elementor styles them.

JetEngine is available for $43/year on its own or as part of an All-Inclusive subscription, along with 19 more plugins.

JetFormBuilder

I like JetFormBuilder because it’s freemium and has enough features to build almost any web form.

You can customize using the WordPress Block editor so it’s especially useful for people who don’t want to use Elementor.

The plugin has all the predefined form patterns you can edit in a few clicks.

If you want to create more complex solutions with dynamic fields, you will need JetEngine, but trust me, it’s worth the expense!

For example, you can use:

• JetFormBuilder and JetEngine to create a website form to update user information.
• JetFormBuilder, JetEngine, and JetSmartFilters to build a digital downloads website.

To collect payments through web forms, you’ll need a paid version. It costs $39/year on its own or $199/year as part of the All-Inclusive Crocoblock subscription.

JetMenu

I have used dozens of WordPress menu plugins, and JetMenu is one of the easiest to use.

What I like about it most is that it handles both simple and mega menus.

In the mega menu layout, you can create menu items of any complexity with Elementor widgets or WordPress blocks.

Using the Elementor menu widget, you can integrate the mega menu anywhere on your website, including a sidebar, footer, or traditional header location.

For a modern twist, you could even create a vertical mega menu.

Customizing menus with JetMenu is easy, just go to Appearance > Menus and do whatever you want.

JetMenu costs $43/year, or comes as part of the All-Inclusive subscription.

JetWooBuilder

JetWooBuilder lets you create custom templates for WooCommerce stores.

If you love Elementor and want to make an eCommerce website using WooCommerce, JetWooBuilder is for you.

You can use more than 60 WooCommerce widgets on any eCommerce page of your website.

JetWooBuilder plays well with all Crocoblock products, including JetSmartFilters and JetReviews.

Like other plugins in the suite, you don’t have to know any code. You can style them visually using Elementor, adding many cool features to your product pages.

JetWooBuilder is available for $43/year or as part of the All-Inclusive subscription.

Why Is the Crocoblock All-Inclusive Plan the Best Option?

You can choose from various subscription plans to suit their preferences and budgets.

One of the most notable plans is the Custom Plan.

It allows you to select specific plugins that match project requirements instead of other plans that offer a fixed set of plugins and features.

• Crocoblock’s All-Inclusive plan costs $199/year. The package provides unrestricted access to all Crocoblock plugins, dynamic templates, and widgets.
• The Crocoblock Freelance Lifetime plan is available for $750. You get lifetime access to the toolkit and continuous updates and support. It’s a great option for those who want to focus on projects without worrying about subscription renewals.
• Finally, the $999 Lifetime plan is a comprehensive pricing plan with added benefits. This option offers the peace of mind of a one-time investment, ongoing updates, and premium support.
• Crocoblock has subscription plans for all website creators, whether you prefer an All-Inclusive package or a long-term investment.

What Do I Like About Crocoblock?

My favorite part of Crocoblock is its ability to build layouts with advanced features using plugin combinations.

Crocoblock’s extensive plugin and template collection makes it easy to use, even for newbies. It can streamline development and deliver high-quality results for any project.

The pricing model is perfect for small studios and freelancers seeking to maximize resources.

Here is a recap of things that I like about Crocoblock:

• You can show off your creativity with plenty of design elements.
• You can create complex, dynamic websites without coding.
• You’ll get a centralized Crocoblock “hub” to fine-tune all JetPlugins.
• A one-time payment can save you money in the long run.

What I Don’t Like About Crocoblock

Beginners may find the learning curve a little steep at first. Initially, Crocoblock’s toolkit may seem overwhelming, so it takes some time to learn all its features.

Without digging into JetEngine’s documentation, you will unlikely be able to use it to its full potential.

Once you overcome the initial learning curve, you can unlock Crocoblock’s full potential.

What bugs me is that there are too many plugins when some things can (and probably should) be available as one plugin.

In my opinion, JetElements, JetBlog, JetTricks, and JetTabs should be merged.

Lastly, Elementor might add similar features to its free or Pro version, making some Crocoblock plugins obsolete.

CrocoBlock Alternatives

Crocoblock has lots of plugins, so it’s tough to find something just like it. But you can try popular Elementor addons such as Happy Addons, Essential Addons, or Premium Addons instead.
