Description
Tiles is a WordPress plugin that turns your page content into a dynamic masonry tile layout inspired by the Windows 8 Metro desktop style. It helps you present information in an interactive, grid-based format that adapts to different screen sizes. Instead of static blocks, each tile can include a front and a back side, making key details easy to reveal on demand. With built-in flip effects and an optional auto-flip timer, you can add motion without complex setup. A Builder frontend live preview mode lets you drag and drop tiles directly on the page, speeding up layout creation.
