BeeSeen — interactive image blocks for WordPress
BeeSeen is a Gutenberg block plugin that adds a small library of premium, motion-driven image effects — built to stay fast, theme-friendly, and usable in real websites.
It’s not a heavy “gallery app”. It’s a set of focused blocks you can drop into any page: orbit, tilt, reveal, depth, accordion, shuffle… each effect is intentionally restrained, so the site feels alive without looking gimmicky.
What you get
- Interactive image blocks (hover, scroll, drag)
- Theme-neutral styling (your theme stays in control)
- Performance-first (mostly transforms & opacity)
- Accessibility-aware (
prefers-reduced-motion, focusable controls where needed) - Clean editor experience: pick images, tweak a few meaningful parameters, publish
How it’s built
BeeSeen is written as a modern Gutenberg block plugin. Blocks are authored in JavaScript, bundled via an npm build, and registered the standard WordPress way. Effects are implemented with small, targeted scripts per block — no giant frameworks running on every page.
- Blocks (editor + frontend)
- Scoped CSS so it doesn’t fight your theme
- Progressive enhancement: content remains meaningful even if motion is reduced
