How We Use ACF

15th August, 2025

Creating Modular, Easy-to-Manage WordPress Sites.

At Tidy Design, we believe a website should be as flexible as your business needs. That’s why we use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to create modular components that make managing your content straightforward. Each component acts as a building block, letting pages be arranged, updated, and expanded without compromising design or code quality.

How We Use ACF

Modular Components for Tailored Content

When we develop a section for your site, we typically build it as a modular component. This approach allows you to edit content specific to that component, be it text, images, or options like displaying a single image, an image slider, or a video alongside content. This ensures consistency in design while giving you the flexibility to update content without affecting other parts of the site.

Flexible Layouts for Dynamic Pages

Building upon this modular approach, we implement Flexible Layouts. This means that the majority of our pages are designed with a flexible template, allowing you to add, remove, move, and edit entire sections of a page. Whether it’s a call-to-action, testimonial, or image gallery, you have the freedom to structure your pages in a way that best suits your content and objectives.

This flexibility ensures that your site can grow and evolve without requiring constant developer input. As your business changes, your website can adapt seamlessly, keeping your content fresh and relevant.

Keeping the Codebase Clean and Efficient

By adopting a modular approach, we ensure that each component is self-contained and reusable. This practice not only streamlines development but also keeps our codebase free from unnecessary duplication and bloat. As highlighted in our previous post on building custom WordPress themes without bloat, this method allows us to maintain a clean, efficient, and scalable codebase.

Need a More Flexible WordPress Site?

Struggling with a site that’s hard to update or feels restrictive? With our modular approach, your pages can be built, edited, and rearranged easily, giving you control without adding complexity.

Whether you want a full redesign or just a more manageable interface, we can create a site that grows with your needs and stays clean, fast, and easy to maintain.
