The Star of the Show: GenerateBlocks Navigation Block
The crown jewel of the Food Truck Starter Site is its unique navigation feature, powered by the new GenerateBlocks Navigation Block introduced in GenerateBlocks 2.2. This block takes navigation to the next level, offering unparalleled flexibility and style that sets this Starter Site apart from traditional restaurant websites.
Here’s why the navigation is the biggest feature:
Dynamic and Customizable Menus. The Navigation Block allows you to create a fully customized menu with complete control over layout, typography, and colors. Whether you want a sleek horizontal menu or a dropdown with flair, you can craft a navigation experience that reflects your brand’s personality. The Food Truck Starter Site uses this to create a interactive menu that guides visitors effortlessly through sections like Home, The Food, Find Us, Good Vibes, and Contact.
Responsive Design for All Devices. With over 60% of global traffic coming from mobile devices, the Navigation Block ensures your menu looks stunning and functions flawlessly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The Food Truck Starter Site features responsive settings to keep navigation intuitive and engaging, no matter the screen size.
Seamless One-Page Flow. On a single-page site, smooth navigation is critical. The Navigation Block integrates with the Food Truck Starter Site to create anchor links that scroll seamlessly to each section. Visitors can jump from the hero image to the menu or contact form with a single click, enhancing user experience and keeping them engaged.
Lightweight and Performant. True to GeneratePress’s commitment to performance, the Navigation Block is built for speed. Its lightweight codebase ensures your site remains fast and SEO-friendly, even with complex menu structures. This is a huge advantage for restaurant businesses competing for local search rankings.
To get started, the Food Truck Starter Site includes a pre-configured Navigation Block setup, but you can easily customize it using the WordPress block editor. Follow the quick-start guide in the GenerateBlocks Pattern Library to tweak menu styles, add dropdowns, or incorporate dynamic content like social media links or a “Book Now” button.
Why Food Truck is Perfect for Your Restaurant Business
The Food Truck Starter Site isn’t just about appearance. Food Truck, like the other GeneratePress Starter Sites, is a strategic tool to grow your business. Here’s how it delivers:
Showcase Your Brand. The vibrant design and ample space for high-quality food photography let you highlight signature dishes and create an inviting atmosphere. Use GenerateBlocks’ Grid Block to populate a gallery of your best plates or behind-the-scenes shots of your food truck in action with delighted customers.

Easy to Customize. With GeneratePress Premium and GenerateBlocks Pro (included in GeneratePress One), you can edit every aspect of the Food Truck Starter Site without touching code. Swap out colors, adjust layouts, or add new sections in minutes using the block editor and the GenerateBlocks Pattern Library.

- Install the Food Truck Starter Site on a test site, and navigate to Appearance > Elements to the Site Header Element.
- Copy the Site Header Block from the Food Truck test site’s Site Header Element. Either click Document Overview and copy the block from there, or click on the Navigation Block and ensure you are selecting the parent Site Header Block.
- Navigate to the site on which you’d like to use it, and create a new Element, naming it Site Header (or something else intuitive).
- Paste the copied block into your new Element.
- If it hasn’t already been done, create a menu in Appearance > Menus.
- In the Navigation Block (under the Site Header Block), set the Menu to your created Menu.
