Converting a website to a block-based design typically involves several steps, including selecting a conversion path, assessing the website for block editor viability, assessing options for a fresh start or a comprehensive overhaul, creating a blueprint for the conversion, setting up a design system, streamlining the conversion process, safeguarding SEO during conversion, launching the new website with zero downtime, and providing ongoing support and monitoring. The specific steps involved will depend on the size and complexity of the website, as well as the specific goals of the conversion.
