Content blocks
Hero, features, gallery, pricing, FAQ and more — each block has styles you can swap without rewriting the page.
BlocksJoomla template by The Pixel
Ship sites with blocks, not boilerplate
PX Base pairs T4 Bootstrap 5 with mod_px_content — section blocks your team can edit on the front end, styled with real design tokens.

Capabilities
Everything you need to ship
One module, many section types. Layout, tokens, and frontend edit stay in the same system — no page-builder lock-in.
Frontend editing
Editors change copy, images and links on the live site. No admin hunt for the right module instance.
EditDesign tokens
Colors, type and spacing live in theme tokens so brand updates cascade instead of hunting hex values.
ThemeSection layouts
T4 positions map cleanly to Home sections — reorder and restyle without breaking the stack.
LayoutBlog layouts
Article category strips and blog chrome styled for PX Base, ready for your own categories.
BlogTemplate overrides
Site-specific CSS and tmpl overrides under templates/px_base — stock blocks stay upgrade-safe.

Workflow
From blank install to launch in four steps
A repeatable path: install the stack, map sections, fill content, then polish tokens — without reinventing the page each time.
Install the stack
Drop in PX Base + mod_px_content on Joomla 6 with T4 Framework.
Map the sections
Assign Home positions to the blocks that match your IA.
Fill the blocks
Write copy and media in Admin or frontend edit — structure stays put.
Polish & ship
Tune tokens, spacing and overrides, then publish with confidence.
Built different
For builders who outgrow page builders
PX Base keeps structure in blocks and look in tokens. You get agency-grade sections without a proprietary canvas you cannot leave.
Editable blocks
Swap styles and fields without rebuilding the page HTML each sprint.
Token-driven look
Brand once in theme tokens — sections inherit instead of hardcoding hex.
Upgrade-safe overrides
Stock blocks stay in the module; site chrome lives under templates/px_base.
Testimonials
What teams say about PX Base
We stopped pasting demo HTML into overrides. Sections are real modules our editors can update after handoff.
Frontend edit finally matches how clients expect to work — change a headline, refresh, done.
Tokens meant a full rebrand took an afternoon instead of hunting hex across twenty stylesheets.
The block map made Home IA obvious. We shipped the first cut in days, not weeks.
No ACM leftovers, no mystery chrome. Just T4, PX Content, and a template we own.
Showcase and pricing blocks looked production-ready before we wrote a line of custom CSS.
